Welcome to the Ulana Bag 2021, a crochet pattern! This is a free pattern and a low-cost PDF with pictures is available in my Shop and Ravelry.
The Ulana Bag was released in 2019 and has been a very popular pattern. I wanted to give it a little update and also share a new yarn I used for it.I used Just Hemp Yarn by Lion Brand. I love that this yarn is sustainable and 100% Hemp, it matches the concept of having a reusable bag in the sustainable category. I am so excited to see more Ulana Bag made and I hope you can replace a plastic bag or all your plastic bags with a reusable bag like the Ulana Bag.
Two strands of worsted weight #4 yarn could be substituted for 1 strand of bulky yarn.
