I wanted to make an Open Granny Square Bottom Bag, but I couldn't find a written pattern anywhere. Maybe I didn't look hard enough, but I ended up making up this one instead. I used an entire skein of variegated Red Heart Super Saver yarn for the body and a small amount from a random skein in my stash for the handles. Materials Needed: 236 yds of the main color (I used Red Heart Super Saver Antique ) Worsted Weight Yarn Less than 1 skien of accent color used for handles. 5mm Crochet Hook Stitch Marker Tapestry needle (for weaving in ends) Summary: Make a granny square with 10 rows (needs to be an even number, this will leave you with an odd number of holes/chain spaces on each side). Note the center chain space before you get started. Work as you would a normal granny square, however, when you get to the center chain space, skip the ch 1 AND skip that ch1 space entirely, then go to the next ch 1 space and continue as normal. Be sure to keep your yarn tight. Do
