Vintage 1940s wartime crochet pattern for ecofriendly shopping bag

This is a vintage crochet pattern for an eco friendly shopping bag which dates from the wartime 1940s- in the UK everything was rationed and in short supply, so as well as making do and mending clothes, women used to make their own shopping bags too.

Its a lovely bag to make for yourself or to make and give as gifts,to make sure we all avoid plastic bags as much as possible- as a company we are committed to the environment. try making it in one colour only as shown, or in rainbow or pastel stripes for fun effects
