Spring is here, and with the warmer weather come the farmers’ markets! Ditch the ugly, flimsy plastic bags and whip up this easy, quick market bag to carry your produce. This pattern also makes a cute beach bag for children; they can throw their towels and swimsuits in their bag, and the mesh fabric will keep them from molding.

This bag uses the lattice stitch, which is a simple combination of sc and chs. Worked in the round, this bag makes up quickly, so you can make one for everyone in the family. Turn them into activity bags for your next road trip!

Market bags are really in style right now, and they’re economically friendly because you can just throw them into the wash and use them again and again. So go green this spring and make a Zen Lattice Market Bag!
