The Benton Harbor Bag is perfect for the beach or shopping! It’s crocheted with super bulky (size 6) cotton yarn and features a net design with a sturdy bottom and handles. The pattern also includes instructions for two accessory pouches: an ID/card pouch and a phone pouch. Either pouch will keep your valuable items safe and can be carried inside the main bag. The yarn used is Lion Brand Mac-re-me, which is a soft, recycled cotton yarn. Other macrame cord would be too stiff for this project.

Measurements:
Main bag: 13” high (unstretched), 15” wide; bag bottom 13” long, 3 ½” wide; shoulder strap 11” drop.
ID/Card Pouch: 4 ½” wide, 3 ½” high. Phone Pouch: 4 ½” wide, 7” high.

Lion Brand Mac-Re-Me, super bulky (size 6), recycled cotton yarn in Mallard
