A sweet bag with a name more complicated than its construction. Tunisian crochet is a technique worth learning as it can be used in so many ways. The resulting fabric looks like a cross between crochet and knit and is thick and sturdy.

You need to have some Tunisian crochet experience in order to work this pattern, however I have provided some basic instruction for Tunisian Simple Stitch and entrelac crochet. Good basic instructions can be easily found on the internet and you may want to practice on a smaller sample to get the hang of it if you have never worked this style of crochet.

You can use a corresponding size yarn and hook to achieve different sizes. This bag would also be great using a smaller hook to make the fabric more dense and not fulled at all.
