A reusable bag is an earth-friendly alternative to using plastic bags when buying produce at the grocery store. This small and lightweight produce bag utilizes crocheting in the round and is constructed from the bottom up - first making a base and then building the body in a stylish and modern arrow mesh pattern. A drawstring is then made and weaved through the top of the bag for easy opening and closing. A special joining technique is used which helps make rounds seamless. A DK weight 100% cotton yarn such as Paintbox Cotton DK yarn is recommended.

PLEASE NOTE: The Arrow Mesh Produce Bag is a small bag meant to hold just a few pieces of produce – it is not a standard size grocery bag.
