Crochet a Mesh Bag

Monday June 17th, 10:30-12:30

Farmer’s markets are in full swing, and what better way to pick up your produce than in a hand-crocheted market bag? We will be making one in miniature so that you will have a chance to learn the whole process from start to finish. You will also be provided with a pattern for the full-size bag and the option to check out a kit with your library card. Materials will be provided, but you can bring your own if you would like.

Adults and teens welcome!
