Striped Crochet Market Bag
Crochet Bags
In the Designer's Words: No more plastic bags! Crochet our own pretty market bag and carry your groceries in style. This crochet market bag is easy to make, using the linen stitch.
Market bags are the perfect way to combine your love of free crochet patterns with practical uses. While buying recycled bags might seem like a cheaper and easier solution, those bags are not made to last ironically enough. If you tend to carry a lot of heavy groceries and need something sturdy for your veggies, then check out the Striped Crochet Market Bag. This crochet pattern makes the perfect market bag, because it is roomy, sturdy, and easy-to-carry. Apples, oranges, and even canned goods will easily be carted in this cutie.
The Ultimate Recycled Market Bag
Crochet Bags
The Ultimate Recycled Market Bag is the best thing you can take shopping. Because it is made of plarn, or cut up plastic grocery bags, you are still taking grocery sacks to the store with you. (Learn How to Make Plarn with the FaveCrafts video tutorial.) This way is just much greener and safer than using regular plastic bags and works well if you just want to run by the outdoor farmer's market. Be environment-friendly while you do your regular weekly shopping with this free crochet pattern that is the perfect recycled bag to use every single week.
Granny's Shopping Bag
Crochet Bags
This free crochet shopping bag pattern is ideal for those looking to replace their non-eco friendly plastic shopping bag with a handmade, crochet market bag. This Granny Stitch crochet project uses self striping yarn, so the colours really show themselves off to full effect. This pattern is beginner friendly featuring only the basic crochet stitches and the ever popular Granny Stitch - my favourite! I made my Granny's Shopping Bag using Caron Cotton Cakes in shade Garden Oasis and I love the colours. They really remind me of hazy summer days spent shopping for Knick Knacks - and I can fit plenty inside this market bag!
1 Skein Farmer's Market Bag
Crochet Bags
Don't go to farmers markets without a tote of your own - make sure to bring along the 1 Skein Farmer's Market Bag. In the designer's own words, "this slouchy farmer’s market bag is perfect for shopping and hauling all kinds of goodies! It only uses one skein of yarn and can be used countless times instead of those icky plastic bags that really hurt our planet. I recommend using a cotton yarn for durability but photographed is an acrylic (I Love This Yarn in Pasha). Hope you guys enjoy this one, don't forget to post as a project so I can see your beautiful bags!
My Go To Bag
Crochet Bags
Straps 26 inches long and 2 inches wide Bag 17 inches long by 15 inches wide when measured on a flat surface Handle Drop 14 inches My Go To Bag is my practical, everyday crocheted bag. I wanted a bag I could use for everything - from beach bag to book bag - a single crocheted base gives this bag extra support - the first few rounds are crocheted in double crochet and then the main bag is worked up in an easy to work granny stitch stripe pattern. I chose to make my straps slightly wider than most bags because when you fill the bag and the straps stretch, they will remain comfortable on your shoulders. If you would like to have a narrower strap, it is very easy to change the width of the strap. Simply add one extra decrease repeat of: Sc2tog, 1 sc in each of the next 2 sts, sc2tog. Ch 1, turn. 4 in place of R11 of the straps and for R80 work: 2 sc in the first st, 1 sc in each of the next 2 sts, 2 sc in the last st, ch 1, turn. 6. Have fun making this simple, attractive and practical Go To Bag! You can substitute any yarn and hook for this stitch pattern - just remember when you substitute if your gauge is different, the finished size of your project will also be different.
