"This project was designed with beginners in mind, but it's also just a nice and easy project that you can whip up in a day with some of your yarn scraps. It's really simple but it makes for a really handy little bag. Works well for shopping, the beach or for kids things on the go. I used an ALize Bahar in #3 DK weight and a 4.5mm hook, but you can use whatever yarn you prefer. This was also made with a 4mm crochet cord for the strap but there are other options as well. "

"This bag pattern is a perfect project for a confident beginner. It is worked from the bottom (base) up and uses basic crochet stitches. The base and top part of this bag are worked in the round (in a spiral). The main body part, on the other hand, though it is still worked in the round after crocheting the last stitch of the round, you have to slip stitch it into the very first stitch of that same round to join and then you will need to chain 1 to get the height of the next stitch. I've also included an option to add a detachable shoulder strap which you have the choice of crocheting your own strap or using a leather one."

"The Springtime Market Bag is the perfect spring and summertime accessory. This pattern was designed to be super functional and trendy. It's perfect for carrying your beach towels and sunscreen, as well as your current WIP's and crochet projects! To make this market bag you'll need a 5 mm crochet hook and 100% cotton yarn. I ended up using the colors white and jute and I am totally obsessed with the color combination. This bag is worked from the base upward finishing off with the straps. This bag is sure to be a spring and summer favorite!"

"The Bodega Bag is an easy crochet market bag pattern. It is worked in one piece, with the body made first and the straps last. The body of the bag is designed using triple crochet stitches to make a stretchy mesh so you can fit almost anything in this carry-all! Made using mercerized cotton it is sturdy and will last a lifetime. Perfect for carrying a large amount of groceries at once. This project takes a little longer because it is made with sport weight yarn, but it is 100% worth it. "

"Everyone needs an everyday satchel for your essential bits and bobs and the Quotidian Satchel delivers that and more. Mixing practicality with style, this easy to make textured satchel comes in 3 sizes to make sure you have just the right one for the occasion. Add a couple of buckles and a strap and you're good to go! This is a crochet pattern for the Quotidian Crochet Satchel bag in three sizes. The satchel bag is crocheted using US sc and dc stitches/ UK dc and tr stitches and comes with full terminology for both. "

"Create this stunning triangular bag with this easier-than-you-think crochet pattern. A stitch pattern of sc and dc is easy to remember and creates a dense fabric with texture. By creatively folding a simple rectangle you magically start to form this tote. This project is perfect for keeping fingers busy while still being able to talk and watch TV. This statement bag measures 16” wide by 18” tall and makes a great tote or project bag. Made with a 4.00mm (US G) crochet hook and Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton yarn in two colors. Two skeins of each color are needed."

"I have been having so much fun creating new bags and accessories using the Red Heart Scrubby Smoothie cotton I was recently gifted. It is really a durable and lovely category 4 fiber. I made this market tote bag - which quite easily serves as a beach bag as well. You can make the strap as long or short as you like. Since I go to the pool or beach more than the market, I opted for a longer strap to carry my towel and sundries. I hope you love this pattern and make yourself the perfect market / beach tote. "

This Crochet Market Bag would be great for shopping at the grocery store or farmer's market, carrying other crochet projects or going to the pool. Basic crochet stiches - single crochet, half double crochet and double crochet stitches are all you need to know to make this Market Bag. The instructions have detailed directions for crocheting the handle. The bag measures approximately 16" x 9” (not including the handles). The handles are short and sturdy. Some shoulder straps really stretch and almost make the bag unusable, so I created this bag to be a ‘handbag' and not a shoulder bag.
