Super strong, super compact, super stretchy shopping bags.

Small enough to fit into your hand (or pocket, or the bottom of your purse), strong enough to hold 10+ lbs.

If you’re trying to avoid using plastic bags, this is a great way to never be caught without a shopping bag again. They also make nice gift bags

Pattern uses 4 stitches:

• foundations single crochet (could substitute chains)
• chain
• double crochet
• single crochet

The pattern is very flexible - you can size it up or down and do different handle styles.
