Ban this bag, San Francisco! Black is green. DK cotton in simple knit mesh with color-pop crochet trim. One 100g skein and some extra yardage in contrast color. Handle widens at the top to save your shoulder during a long stroll down the Hipster Boulevard. Four-page PDF includes instructions for all stitches used and photo illustrations. A variation on my free mesh bag pattern.

Measurements: (Approximate, unstretched): Bag body: 14” wide by 11” long. Handles: 24” circles

Gauge: Exact gauge is not very important; bag body mesh stitch is very loose; I-cord handles are firm.
