This is a fun, easy to make market bag for your weekly trip to the famers market or library!
You will need approx 250 yards of color a, 120 yards each of colors b and c. I used a cotton yarn for ease of cleaning but any ww yarn will work.
You will need a size I crochet hook for this project.
The finished measurements are approx 16’x15.5” when bag is laid flat, the diameter of the opening is 29” in an oval shape.
The pattern comes with options to make either short hand size straps (pictured) or longer over the shoulder straps depending on your preference.
There is also a photo tutorial on weaving in the ends to help minimize ends poking out.
:-) Enjoy and happy crocheting!
