Got a thing for string market bags? Us too. Essential for peonies and juicy oranges or, more realistically, that ingredient for dinner that slipped your mind.
We’d be lost without our stash of shoppers, and this crochet one is what our collection’s been missing.

The bag is worked in the round from the bottom up. Two handle bases are worked in rows across the top, then handles are worked in the round across the top of the bag and down the sides of the bases.
