Checkerboard Handbag Crochet Pattern

Checkerboard Handbag : This crochet pattern for a checkerboard bag first appeared in 1953 from Spool Cotton. Later, it was reintroduced in an early 1960s issue of the Workbasket. It's a fun design that is sure to be liked by girls, both old and young. "You'll find this bag both practical and pretty. It is quickly and easily crocheted in any two desired colors". For fun, clasp the bag with a small padlock and key!
