Lassie Drawstring Bag

“LASSIE DRAWSTRING BAG” – FREE CROCHET PATTERN 

Sheepdogs weave an imaginary motion net by making back and forth movements around the herd. This imaginary net combines two movement types: collect and group scattered sheep, and take sheep forward once are grouped. Just one sheepdog can take more than a hundred sheep itself, not even one would escape.

INSPIRATION + DESIGN

Although this beautiful little bag was conceived to be used for cooking legumes, it is the typical multipurpose project that would look amazing as a decorative piece of storage at home, as an organizer bag in your suitcase or simply as a special gift wrapper.

Made of 100% cotton, the bag is soft, durable and can be opened and closed with a drawstring.
