This pattern is part of the X Stitch Challenge where each month I designed a new crochet pattern using the X Stitch. Check out all the different designs HERE!

The Market Bag is the April version.

I love the texture of this bag. Two different X Stitches are alternated with basic single and half double crochet to create this fun texture. This was designed as a market bag but it is so versatile it can be used for so many different things. I know I’m using one to carry my crochet project in tow, but you could use it as a beach bag, lunch bag or line it for extra strength and use it as an every day purse too! I show it here in fun rainbow colors and also in a neutral palette but there are so many different color options -- super fun!

Instructions are provided for two sizes, Medium and Large, but you could easily size it for your needs:

Medium: 13” wide x 14” tall without straps
Large: 16” wide x 17” tall without straps
