Farmer’s market trips are even more fun with a brightly colored bag on your arm.
Approximately the same size as a standard plastic grocery bag, but holds more weight, and stretches to accommodate the odd shapes of produce items. Made of inexpensive cotton yarn, these bags are machine wash/dry, in keeping with your eco-friendly, ethical lifestyle.

Supplies
Size 8 circular needle between 29”-32” long
(2) Balls inexpensive cotton yarn, such as Lily Sugar ‘n Cream, approx. 5 oz. /240-250 yards

Gauge
Not critically important, since this is not a garment. Approx. 4 stitches x 5 ½ rnds per inch in stockinette
