Another project I started last year and hadn't finished is a plarn beach bag. Basically, a beach bag is just a bigger version of a grocery bag.
Start with a the bottom rectangle, 7 x 15 or 8 x 16.
Work rounds up the sides to desired height.
For a grocery bag, 12 inches is good, for this beach bag, I went 15 inches, to keep it proportional with the bigger bottom.
Add handles. For grocery bags, I usually make them 23 inches long before fastening. For this beach bag, I made them 25 inches.
By changing colors several times while working up the sides, you can add stripes for a festive touch.
When finished, you'll notice lots of little holes between the stitches. If you shake the bag well when leaving the beach, you can leave most of the sand there and not track it into your car or house.
