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!

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.
