The Mercer Market Bag is an eco-friendly, environmental, and reusable slouchy mesh tote that is perfect to go grocery shopping with! Its large, stretchy inside affords a generous amount of space for holding lots of produce and items. The minimalist design is elegant but can be spiced up with the addition of an easy-to-make, bohemian (boho) style beaded tassel, which is included in this tutorial. This pattern also features the easy V-stitch and is very quick to work up, using only two skeins of 24/7 Cotton Yarn by Lion Brand Yarn. In addition, it’s worked in joined rounds, crocheted from bottom up, and a no-sew project done in one piece!

This product sells well at craft fairs and make excellent gifts, or as a treat for yourself! It’s a must-have accessory to bring to your local Farmer’s Market during the beautiful spring, summer, and fall seasons.
