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!

Striped Crochet Market Bag
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.
Crochet Market Bag Free Pattern
Keep your planet clean and green with the crochet shopping and market bag instead of a plastic bag. Crochet these versatile and long-lasting market bags with a free pattern. Moreover, use four-ply of linen thread in desired colors and combinations for this crochet project. Use a 3.00mm crochet hook with a tapestry needle to work on this market crochet bag. You can also use the beads to embellish these handmade market bags. However, it's up to you to use the buttons and beads.
The Beach Blossoms Market Bag
While it may be hot outside this time of year, the cool and calming shades of The Beach Blossoms Market Bag will have you imagining you are dragging your feet through the wet sand, or enjoying the feeling of cool water lapping against your toes. While designed as a market bag, The Beach Blossoms works well as an everyday tote, or bag to take to the beach! It is designed to easily be made larger or smaller to fit your needs (especially when it comes to shopping!). While designed with Caron Cotton Cakes in mind, cotton yarns of all types and colours will accentuate the stitching and style of the bag.
The Ultimate Recycled Market Bag
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.
