Cotton Grocery Bag

This was so simple, it only took me 2 days to do it. I made it so I could ride the bus to the grocery store in winter time and bring back plenty of groceries without accumulating plastic bags. I used a free pattern from the lion brand website. The craft store near me didn't sell the organic cotton required by the pattern, so I used Sugar 'N Cream in Ecru for the body and Natural for the sides, and just changed the number of stitches for the changed gauge, and it turned out pretty well, and only cost me about $4. It was knitted as one big piece, then the edges were sewn up, so the handle is continuous around the bottom of the bag. Its quite stretchy and holds plenty of law books too!
