The South Haven String Bag is a handy backpack for everyday fun! The bag is crocheted with mercerized cotton yarn, using the granny spike stitch (explained in pattern) and other simple stitches. The crocheted drawstrings act as the shoulder straps when the bag is cinched. Instructions are given for an optional lining.
