This pattern includes detailed instructions and pictures! This market bag is strong, stretchy, and perfect for summer shopping at the farmers market.

Materials Used:

4 oz cotton yarn* for main color (I used worsted/4-ply Peaches & Creme in Gold) 
1 oz cotton yarn* for accent color (I used worsted/4ply Peaches & Creme in Sea Breeze)
5.5mm and 6.0mm crochet hooks
Embroidery Needle for weaving ends

  • I prefer using cotton yarn because it makes the bag sturdier, more durable, and easier to wash. But, worsted weight acrylic will work as well.
