HANDMADE ECO-FRIENDLY BAG FOR GROCERIES

in NeedleWorkMonday3 years ago (edited)
Crocheting has been a very comforting hobby to me. More so when I found out about the utilities of hundred percent jute yarn. For this project, I used up approximately three hundred meters of six ply jute yarn that is two millimeters in diameter. The resulting eco-bag is forty one centimeters in height and thirty one centimeters in width. The length of handle is fifty centimeters while the width is two centimeters.

Jute bag for groceries


Throughout the entire process, I was very glad to be able to practice and improve on granny square crochet pattern. Previously I only acquired simple crocheting skill sets such as single crochet, double crochet and herringbone stitch. Making this bag had been a pleasurable experience. This project requires the use of a five millimeter crochet hook.

Overall, I'm happy with the quality of finished product. It's functional, sturdy and had kind of an old charming hippy appeal. In the future, I'll try to incorporate more crocheting technique or pattern into the making of eco-bags for groceries shopping. Other than serving as beach bag and for groceries shopping, it's also useful for storing onions, garlic and banana in the kitchen especially when one has limited storage space.

Thank you for your kind attention!

Cheers,
Wheat

Hello @wittywheat! Welcome to the NeedleWorkMonday Community

The bag is very beautiful, and it is wonderful that it is eologia. The material (yarn) you used to knit it looks sturdy enough to carry anything. These bags are very useful for shopping, going to the beach or to college. You have made a very nice bag. Regards
