Shopping bag
A bold, recognizable shopping bag drawn on the filet grid at 19 by 19, equally at home in quick gift squares, modern accents, and sampler blocks. Bring it into the editor to enlarge it, pair it with a matching motif, or tile it across a panel, then export to PDF or print the chart sized to your gauge.

Perfect for
Skill level: beginner
If this is one of your earliest charts, you are in safe territory. The outline is bold and simple, so a small miscount rarely shows in the finished piece.
Yarn and hook
Size 10 cotton thread on a steel hook makes a fine shopping bag panel; switch to DK or worsted cotton with a 3.5–4 mm hook and it grows into a soft, blanket-weight piece. Mercerised cotton gives a subtle sheen and crisp stitch definition that suits the clean block edges of filet.
Project ideas
Reach for the shopping bag when you want a modern accent. It looks at home on a tote-bag motif and a quick gift square alike. Crop or enlarge it in the editor so it fits your project exactly.
Who it's for
Stitched for a colleague, the shopping bag suits a personal accent beautifully. Frame it with a border to give a plain gift a finished, considered look.
Size, printing, and scaling
Worked at 4 mesh per inch the 4.8-by-4.8-inch result is a guide only — your thread and hook set the true size, so swatch before you start. Send the chart straight to print for a clean numbered grid, or resize and re-crop it in the editor first and export a PDF, PNG, or CSV.
