Crocheted granny square bag
#v17121
Make your own shoulder bag with 27 daisy granny squares crocheted in a random colour mix. The outermost edges always have the same colour as is used to join the squares, as well as for the edge and handle. The middle flower has two colours – one per round – while the rest of the square is made in one colour. The squares are small and easy to take with you on the go and the bag is perfect for carrying handicrafts or other light items.
