This bag is very easy to make. Good for a beginner. It is also very useful. Will make a great beach bag. As it rolls up small, it's also good for shopping.

Large Crochet Mesh Market Bag
"This large crochet mesh market bag is one of my favorite projects. It is so fun to make, and it feels good being eco-friendly bringing my own bag to carry items. Crochet Sturdy Mesh Tote This crochet tote is made from just one yarn cake! I used cotton string fingering yarn to crochet this lightweight mesh bag. It is pretty and it folds up to stash in a handy place. This one-piece crochet bag design is a semi-circle that increases with each row that is added. The crochet stitches used in this pattern are the double crochet stitch and the puff stitch."
Granny's Shopping Bag
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!
Bonjour Belle Market Bag
This fabulous Mesh Market Bag is worked in a c2c mesh stitch which is so easy and works up so quickly! The c2c crochet mesh stitch is so easy and works up so quickly. Worked corner to corner or on the bias so there is no need for a large foundation chain. Once you have a square you will work around the outside edge and prepare handle edges by working two sides of decreases. This pulls the bag together while also creating an easy way to add your wood handles. The wood handles are crocheted right into the top edges of bag. I have a complete video tutorial available for both the c2c mesh stitch as well as a tutorial to help you finish up your bag!
Two Tone Mesh Market Bag
"This fun and easy crochet market bag uses two skeins of kitchen cotton yarn and a large hook for a light but sturdy bag. You'll be surprised at just how much you can fit in it! The base is solid, to keep your items contained, but the mesh sides work up very quickly. This bag is perfect for a beach bag, market tote, or even a bag for toting your library books in. The possibilities are endless!"
