Thank you so much to all my test crocheters!! xoxo

Are you in your sourdough era? If you’re not, I’m betting you know someone who is. This adorable carrier can either be a sweet gift or a practical way to share your loaves with your loved ones.

This crocheted carrier is made with simple granny squares that are slip stitched together with a cute trim and ties.

Use a worsted weight dishcloth cotton in four colours. Cotton is an ideal choice because it’s washable, economical and it won’t shed little fuzzies on your loaves.
