Easy to make and simple to toss into your car on the way to the grocery store, the park, or the beach, these reusable mesh bags are crochet projects you will undoubtedly use in your everyday life. Twinkie Chan, crochet designer and author, teaches you how to use a triangular or delta mesh stitch that allows your bag to be stretchy and light weight, and a solid panel of single crochet stitches and half double crochet stitches to make the bottom of the bag nice and strong. Make a smaller bag with a drawstring for organizing and separating your fruits and vegetables. Both bags are easy to wash and can be used around the house as stylish and earth-friendly storage options.

Great class. Easy to understand and follow along. The bag is really cute and would also make a nice beach bag or gift bag.

Twinkie is awesome! I made a bag! First one ever! Prior to this I have only created a few Woobles. Being new, I made several mistakes along the way but that’s how you learn. There were a few moments in the demos when I wish I could zoom in closer especially the handle part. It was fun, challenging and peaceful. I plan to gift the bag to my sister. Shortly, I’ll try the small produce bag. Thank you thank you. ;-)
