In A Crunch Accessory Bag

A quick project that would make a great last-minute gift. Whether it’s to carry your craft notions, for the kids’ backpack, make-up, or as a clutch… the possibilities are endless. It works up quickly using the crunch stitch, which combines half double crochet (HDC) and slip stitch (SL ST). Great little project for a beginner.
