Be ready for the beach with this pretty crochet beach bag pattern. It's a fairly nice size to hold your beach towel, a change of clothes and more if needed.
A similar style bag is the lacy textures crochet bag pattern. It's a smaller bag, but super easy to adjust to any size you need it to be. Plus, it's got a lovely texture that you'll enjoy showing off.
