This is my own crochet pattern for a traditional-style string bag. It’s is easy to make and produces a wonderfully sustainable market bag, ideal for your trip to the farmer’s market for fruit and veges.

This pattern has written instructions and a photo of the increasing rounds to keep you on track. It is designed for 4-ply cotton and is easy to adapt to your specific needs.

These bags make great handmade gifts and help stop the use of plastic.

This pattern is written with Australian/UK terminology but has simple instructions for conversion into US terms.
