This unique market bag has a pretty row of carrots along the bottom to remind you to pick up some veggies when you are shopping. Made with cotton yarn this bag is nice an sturdy. I used my own Carrot Stitch along the bottom, but all other stitches are just basic crochet stitches. I have provided a video tutorial to help you through the carrot stitch. You will love taking the show stopping bag to the farmer's market.
