The Wheat Stitch Rectangle Bag is the perfect project for adventurous beginners ready to try something beautiful and practical! Featuring the stunning wheat stitch—a textured, eye-catching design—this accessory is worked up simply as a rectangle. That’s right! Just crochet a rectangle, fold it, sew up two seams, and attach a handle. Voilà, you’ve made a chic, handmade bag!

The pattern includes two versatile sizes (small and large), so you can choose the perfect fit for your lifestyle. Crafted with soft, sturdy worsted-weight cotton-blend yarn, this bag is both stylish and durable—ideal for everyday adventures or thoughtful handmade gifts.

A video tutorial is included with the pattern.
