♥ A fun granny square bag crochet pattern based on the cute free stand-alone granny square available on my blog

♥ This ad-free, low-cost PDF crochet pattern includes all the speciality stitch photo tutorials and step-by-step pattern and joining pictures; thank you for supporting indie design ♥

The intermediate-level PDF pattern includes:

• photo tutorials for all specialty stitches and techniques
• round-by-round photos for the granny square
• diagrams illustrate the layout and joining of the squares
• images in addition to the written instructions for the straps

You will need a 100% cotton aran weight (no. 4) yarn, approx. 250g total, and the pattern is written for 5 colours, but of course, you don’t need to stick to that, as you can see in the photos! I recommend Paintbox Cotton Aran and Bendigo Woolen Mills Cotton 10ply with a 4.5mm hook.
