The bag is also designed to avoid overloading and becoming uncomfortably heavy.

The bag is a simple project, great for novice crocheters, and can be made with a 5mm or 3.75mm crochet hook. The bag is designed to be slightly smaller than a large shoulder bag-sized tote. However, the pattern can be altered to make the bag bigger for an all-day shop or to hold large, leafy plants.

The bag is designed to be washable, strong, and resilient. It is made from pure linen, which is stiff in the skein but loosens up as it is knitted and after washing.

The bag is made from pure linen

The Knit-o-Matic Crochet Grocery Bag is made from pure linen, specifically Quince & Co Sparrow organic linen. This type of linen is a 'product' fibre rather than a 'process' fibre, which means that while it may be stiff in the skein, it will loosen up as it is knitted and then completely after washing. This gives the bag a different kind of textile experience.

Quince & Co Sparrow is a 100% linen yarn that is known for its sturdiness and resilience. It is recommended for those who want a bag that will last and is worth the effort. The bag requires less than one skein of this linen yarn, which is also available in a larger size if desired.

The bag is designed to be sturdy and medium-sized, large enough to replace a regular plastic bag from the grocery store. It is just the right size to hold heavy groceries, such as four heavy cans, without being too big or uncomfortable to carry.
