Be the most stylish shopper during your next farmer’s market visit with the Sunny Day market bag on your shoulder! Turn an otherwise mundane weekly chore into something special every time you use it. The Sunny Day market bag holds all of your precious produce and bakery finds.

Handmade market bags are today’s sustainable alternative to disposable plastic bags. Choose a yarn like Lion Brand’s “Re-Up”, a recycled cotton worsted weight, for a bag that helps save the environment in more ways than one. Its generous size and durability make it the perfect choice for those weekend shopping trips.

The bag is worked from the bottom up. The bottom is a flat circle, followed by a section of double crochet mesh. The sunburst motifs are made separately, sewn together in a ring, then attached to the bag. The body continues with another mesh section and ends with a section of single crochet. The straps are smaller sunburst motifs sewn in a strip and attached to the top of the bag.
