Crochet Chevron One Big Cake Bag Pattern

Crochet Chevron One Big Cake Bag Pattern

This is the Crochet One Big Cake Chevron Bag. I love to crochet with self-striping yarn.  The Caron Big Cakes is great because the ball size is so generous you can make a nice tote or market bag without having to change colors and yet still have the pretty striped effect.  I made this bag using Shadowberry because I think it looks great with a pair of blue jeans.
