Recycled Pink Plastic Purse

I have been saving these pink plastic grocery bags for a special project. I finally decided to crochet a pink purse and donate it to this year’s Relay for Life fundraiser. In case you are wondering about these beautiful pink bags, they are special and very hard to find. A dear on-line friend sent them to me and I am so happy to be able to recycle them into a cool new purse.
Here is a closeup of the cable stitching at the top and the strap. Just click to super-size.
I have named this purse Pink Passion Plarn Purse and lined it as shown. Please enjoy the free crochet pattern below.
