The EveryThing Market tote is a great beginner pattern. Its a sturdy bag made with a double strand of 100% cotton yarn.

Its the Ultimate Market Tote. It’s cute and stylish. It’s not just to bring to the farmers market or grocery store. Bring it everywhere. The Beach, the library or anywhere you need to carry anything.

Materials
5mm hook
Sugar n’ cream cotton yarn
(any cotton yarn will do but the size off the bag may very a bit)
Best made with two strands of yarn held together but can be made with one strand. it just won’t have the same sturdiness.
gauge is not important
