Prairie Bag crochet pattern showcases the embossed crochet technique, blending front post and back post stitches. The use of different colors further emphasizes the embossed elements created by the front post stitches, resulting in a beautiful design on both sides.

Prairie Bag proudly displays its unlined wrong side to showcase its beauty and allow you to flaunt your hand-making skills. To make the creation process even more enjoyable, the handles are made continuously, eliminating the need for any sewing.

The only non-crochet step involves reinforcing the upper band with ultra-firm stabilizer, ensuring the bag’s durability and adding a professional touch.
