I designed this pattern when a friend asked me to knit some bags to sell at the local farmer’s market. As I looked through patterns, none were quite right. I wanted something easy, no lace patterns to keep track of, yet still cute and functional. This bag is the result. It has a base for greater capacity and is knit entirely in garter stitch. By changing to a larger needle size an openwork feel is achieved without any difficult lace patterns. It is seamless, except for a small strap seam at the top. It would be good for an advanced beginner, but still fun for an experienced knitter.

NOTE
You may want to line the handle with fabric or ribbon to stabilize it and keep it from stretching.
