Beach Bag

This is from Attic 24 pattern Crochet Bag.  I used Red Heart Super Saver Grape Fizz and a J hook.

This monstrosity of a bag is available here: Crochet Bag Pattern

It wound up having an opening of 68" and it is 18" deep (36" diameter)

I veered from the pattern and chose to make "in line" handles which I have made a few times on baskets.  I liked them better than sewing a pair on - was thinking they might be sturdier.  I also skipped the flower and shell edging though I really liked the edging.

I may go back and sew up the opening to the handles to keep items in the bag better.  It is a very good "bag of holding" though.
