I decided to make a rectangular shaped market bag after trying a round one. I find the shaped bottom helps it to stand up a bit for loading. This isn’t a fussy pattern, and you could really make it any size you like. I used 1 skein of solid for the bottom and the handles and then 2 skeins of striping for the body. There is no gauge, and you can improvise as needed.
