A granny square bag that shows off a beautiful skein of indie yarn. The bag is made of 8 squares, each worked in rounds and joined to each other as you go. Alternatively, you could make the squares separately and slip stitch them together. The bag is lined, with an added clasp, so a small amount of sewing is required. This pattern first appeared in Simply Crochet magazine Issue 132. Pattern is written in English and uses UK terms.
