DESCRIPTION

This beach bag is made with single crochet stitches worked in the round. The bobble stitches scattered throughout give it texture and a pop. The adorable watermelon coloring comes from changing yarn colors throughout the pattern and repeating this for the other side. This bag is large, ~15 inches across, and able to carry all your beach notions. For me this always includes a book, my crochet work-in-progress, lots of snacks and La Croix. What would you take with you for a day on the beach?
