A celebration of utility and elegance, this project invites you to craft a string bag that’s as beautiful as it is functional. Inspired by traditional net bags once found in market s across Europe, the design is both lightweight and durable — perfect for carrying produce, storing textiles, or folding neatly into a coat pocket. Using simple crochet techniques and natural fibres, this project is suitable for both seasoned makers and those new to handwork. The result is a tactile object imbued with the charm of slow, purposeful making — a sustainable alternative to disposable bags and a pleasure to use every day. This project was featured in Issue 122 Winter White. Free downloadable & complete instructions are available. Show more
