Mesh Bag for Carrying Everything

Beach Bag Crochet Pattern ~ This easy tote bag pattern comes from J&P Coats and Clark’s booklet No. 300 titled Quick Crochet. The original copyright date is 1953.

Labor Day and the end of summer vacations is coming soon. So maybe you won’t be taking this bag to the beach but it’s still a useful tote for shopping.

Speed Cro-Sheen Mercerized Cotton

This pattern uses Coats and Clark’s ONT Speed Cro Sheen Mercerized Cotton. You can still find this vintage thread for sale on Ebay and Etsy.

The post Crochet Chignon Cover Pattern also uses Speed Cro Sheen. On the post you’ll find several possibilities for a substitute thread. Not to mention a pretty bun cover crochet pattern.

One such substitute is Aunt Lydia’s Fashion Crochet Thread Size 3. It comes in several colors. It’s 100% Mercerized Cotton and comes in 150 yard balls (2.24 ounces).

Another good substitute is DMC Petra Crochet Thread Size 3. It is also made of 100% Cotton and comes in 306 yard balls (3.52 ounces).

A red plastic plate is inserted to secure the bottom of the beach bag. It measures 9-1/2 inches in diameter. It’s suggested that you use corks to tie to the ends of the cords for handles.
