SKILL LEVEL: intermediate

MATERIALS:

I used about 470 yards (430m) of 1.5mm natural cotton twine and worked with a 3mm (US C2/D3) crochet hook.
Amazon or Etsy have cotton cord/rope/twine of various colors. Pay attention to the size of the rope in mm (1.5mm) and yardage (470 yards).

The bag also looks great in cotton yarn but it will have softer texture.

SIZE:

The bag in the photos has the following measurements but the size can be adapted to your needs. The pattern gives instructions how to do it.
Width: 12 in (30 cm)
Height: 11 in (28 cm)
