No, I haven't lost my mind (any more then I already have), but I knew that with the pattern testing and editing done, if I didn't launch it now, my ADHD brain would absolutely forget about it,    And it's not just a 'summer' pattern, I promise!

This crochet beach or market bag is designed to carry whatever you need in the summer months. Worked in Leaf Stitch with a base of double crochet, it is dense enough to keep things inside the bag, while still being airy and light enough to tuck in a purse!

 Perfect for carrying an extra sun hat, water bottle, or even a shawl for cooler desert nights or, as a grocery bag you can keep tucked away for when you need it.

With a relatively simple pattern repeat that uses only double crochet, this project is a great step up project for a beginner who wants to make something other than scarves and dishcloths plus, the simple pattern repeat means it’s a great portable project, too!

This bag pattern only has one size (but is easily adjustable!).  As written, it has a 15 inch, (38 cm) circumference, and a depth of 23 inches  (58.5 cm).

Yarn shown is *Rowan Creative Linen (50% cotton, 50% linen) in the colourway "Stormy".  It uses approximately 300 yards (274 meters) of worsted-weight yarn, and a *3.75 mm (US F) hook.

 The Falling Leaves Beach Bag pattern has both written and charted instructions for the Blocks Stitch pattern, and also has a large print version that's compatible with screen-reading technology. It's written in US Crochet Terminology.

 And remember, as always, I love seeing what you make, or even what yarn you're considering! So please, tag your creations on Social Media with #SarahDawnsDesigns, (or share them in the Discord) so we can all see your awesome things!

If you've got feedback, comments, or questions about the pattern, you can comment here, or send me an e-mail, I'm happy to hear from you!
