This is the cutest little shopping bag!! The pattern, which you can find here at Little Monkey Crochet, is actually a mini beach bag. I started thinking about Christmas (it will be here before we know it 😳) and thought it would be so fun to make it into a shopping bag to hold a gift card or cash. 

So…here’s my take on this cute pattern!

I used I Love This Cotton from Hobby Lobby in red and white. I added a sweet little gingerbread charm – you can find all sorts of fun charms at your local craft store. 

A gift card or cash fits perfectly inside with room to add a mini chocolate bar or two. 🙂

Here’s a closeup of the little gingerbread charm I added. 

These work up so quickly and add a little something extra when giving gift cards or cash. Change the color combo and charm to make the shopping bag for any occasion!!

Thanks for stopping by,
