Bubbles Beach Bag

“The pattern reminds me of water bubbles” was my sisters reply to seeing this bag throughout the design process. So I kept the “bubbles” for the name of this pattern.

The simple stitches used for this design make it ideal for raffia yarn and that authentic beach bag feel. But cotton yarn works just as well. And of course this bag is not just for the beach. It makes a great market tote or a shoulder bag for a stroll around town.

The pattern contains written instructions along with a photo tutorial to make it beginner friendly and easy to follow.
