I love this Basketweave Crocheted Handbag. The pattern is well written, but I do have a question What size bag does this pattern make? I would love to crochet one, just wish there was a size so I can know if I need to make it larger or not?? The basketweave stitch makes a nice tight material for handbags and so much more. Once you get the pattern down, it is so easy. Thank you so much for this free pattern.
