Cat Lady Bag
"Take the “cat lady” title to a whole new level with this fun tapestry crochet bag that’s an eye-catching ode to our furry friends. This pattern is worked in 13 individually created squares (in 3 unique designs) that are arranged and seamed to create the body of the bag. A pair of 2-color straps finish the design in a simple but fashionable manner. Being a cat lady will be as fun as it sounds with this exciting and customizable crochet bag. This playful, customizable, and sturdy shoulder bag might become your favorite new project bag (who doesn’t need more of those). And don’t let the color work worry you, if you can do a single crochet you can make this design – just check your gauge and keep your tension even."
