Momma Beach Bag Crochet Pattern
This is not your momma’s beach bag. Well, it is. But you’ll want one for yourself as well once you see how easy it is to make and how many different uses there are for it. The Momma Beach Bag Crochet Pattern is one that you can use again and again.
Ditch those ugly bags you take with you to the grocery store and use this one instead. Your apples and bananas have never looked cuter nestled in this adorable bag. We love taking it with us on errands or to the beach.
It’s stretchy so you can work with objects of any shape and size, and they’ll fit right into the bag. Tie it all together with a string of the same color as the body of the bag, or get funky with it and choose a contrasting color.
The PDF version of this pattern has answers to all the questions you could possibly have about this bag – and more than that. You’ll be able to master the stitches, use a magic ring, tie it all together, and have a great bag ready to go.

Cut about 25 4 foot strands of yarn and braid together to make a drawstring. Weave through round 48 and tie together. When making my drawstring I ran out of sport weight yarn. So I added some pretty green cotton yarn to make my braid fatter. I actually wish I would have made it a little fatter and shorter to make it easier to carry. Make the length and width that you feel most comfortable with.
