Crochet bag

I always wanted to make a crochet bag joining a few granny squares. As I was looking for some designs for the squares I came across a "Crochet African Flower Granny square" design on you tube. I followed the instructions to create the following Granny square:

I had to crochet 13 such squares to form the bag which I made. Larger the bag more the number of squares.Well then the squares were arranged in a pattern to form a bag:

Next part was to join the squares . I used the crochet hook itself to join the squares ,though one can use the needle too.

This part was followed by the handle . I crochet a strong handle and affixed it with the bag. The final part was to line the bag with some matching cloth and sew a zipper.

I shall carry the bag to my workplace tomorrow and I really hope my friends and colleagues will like it!
