Lickety Split Library Sack
A free version is also available.
Made with simple but strong stitches, this bag works up quickly and easily, making it ideal for beginners. Although this was originally designed as a library bag for my son (it’s made to hold four or five children’s books), this could also be a quick trip market bag or even your reusable fruit and veggie bag!
The handle is made with a chain space a few rows before completing the bag to keep the design easy but durable, and I’ll show you a little trick I have for a more reversible looking seam than you normally get with a single crochet join.
This pattern is available for FREE on my website! The small fee for the pdf file you can download here, which includes a link to an informal tutorial on my joining method as a bonus feature, helps me continue to be able to do what I love and share it with you!
