Crochet Shopping Bag

I've been looking at crochet bag patterns for the last couple of months now, but had decided not to start one until I'd finished all of my granny squares. After taking a closer look at the patterns on Ravelry, I decided that I'm not yet ready to read a crochet pattern (ha! either that or I'm too lazy!!). Instead, I decided to wing it. I know, I'm an extreme crocheter!
So here's the finished product! I just started crocheting in the round, increasing as I went until the circle looked big enough, then continued in the same pattern until it looked tall enough, then finished off the top with some handles. Easy peasy. I used 2 and a half 50 gram hanks of Pakucho Certified Organic Cotton in Avocado on a size 3.50mm hook.

If anyone is interested in me writing out the pattern, let me know. If enough of you show an interest, I'll give it a go :)

I would love a pattern. It's so fabulous. I'll have to rally the troops to convince you we need a pattern.
