In this hands-on workshop with Shelley Thompson, turn your granny square into a stylish and functional tote bag. Participants will learn to crochet borders, shape the bag with strategic decreases, and attach handles for a polished finish.
Before attending, you’ll need to crochet and line a granny square following the provided instructions. You can also create embellishments in advance to personalize your tote. During the session, you’ll complete at least half of the assembly process, giving you the confidence to finish at home. This fantastic stash-busting project allows you to use your favourite yarns.
