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.

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."
