Bags

Bags are fun to knit or crochet because you can take the pattern and add your own touches to them. From shopping bags, water bottle or wine totes, drawstring bags to handbags and purses you can have so much fun making customized bags for your friends and family.

The shopping bags pictured are great for shopping - particularly at the farmer's market, library books or carrying your knitting projects.  Made with Lion Cotton (4-ply worsted weight) that comes in many different colors, so you can create bags in a variety of colors.

For the first and last bags I used: Green Living Tote free pattern from Lion Brand.  For the two handled bags: Town & County Market Tote ($1.99 download) from Knit Picks. I hope you enjoy making these great bags too!
