Hazel’s Market Bag came to me because I was in need of a simple bag that would carry a lot of stuff, but that wouldn't just be a gigantic bag if it were mostly empty. This bag sort of stretches to carry what is needed, but then springs back when not weighed down. I love it and I have many of them around the house. We use them for the farmer’s market buys, library books, and as church bags. I've made many for gifts, and sold even more.

1 Skein Farmer's Market Bag
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!
The Library Tote Free Crochet Pattern
"The Library Tote Crochet Book Bag is a book lover’s best friend. This rectangle bag is composed of a sturdy single crochet bottom with two wide handles for comfort. Bring it to the farmer’s market, the library or the yarn store. When we hit the library we never seem to have enough hands or bags for all the books. I love this bag for these trips. It's yarn so it stretches, but it's more supportive than a mesh bag."
Simple Striped Tote Bag
It's that time of year again when I'm ready to break out the cotton yarn and make myself a dozen different crochet bags. After all, one can never have too many bags, especially tote bags! I consider tote bags to be a summer essential… who am I kidding? I use my crochet tote bags all year round. Why do I historically design new tote bags this time of year? I think it's because I'm being optimistic that, eventually, spring and summer will arrive here in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Maybe it's my way of willing the warmer weather to come, or maybe I just love my growing collection of bags.
