Crochet Mini Sunshine Bag - FREE Pattern


Hi Friends! The Crochet Mini Sunshine Bag is live! I used the leftover granny squares from my Sunburst Bag for this quick project!


This post contains affiliate links. Please see bottom of post for more information.


We Crochet sponsored last year's Blog Hop so I used their City Tweed (Aran/Worsted) Yarn. If you didn't already know, they are a sister company of Knit Picks, specifically for Crocheters.


If you're interested in the Sunburst bag, visit the free blog pattern here or purchase the ad-free pdf in my shops.
