Are You Ready to Make an Easy Crochet Market Bag?

I used Lion Brand Yarns’ new Rewind Yarn (affiliate link) in the colorway Current Situation for the entire bag. This fiber is a tape yarn and oh so soft!

It is one that you have to see in person to appreciate how pretty it is! You will need to hold two skeins together at once for this pattern to make it sturdy and holds up well to all the goodies that will be filling it!

This pattern is a simple crochet market bag tutorial that can be used all summer long! Take with you to local farmers markets, shops and much more to fill up with whatever it is you may need!

This pattern is meant to be a cross body bag, but you could easily crochet two handles and use it as a shoulder bag if you wish. It is up to you! It would even make a cute beach tote!

The spaces between the stitches are perfect for letting sand fall through back on to the beach and not in your house! You’ll thank me later.

  • Size K 6.5 mm crochet hook
  • Scissors
  • Stitch marker
  • Yarn needle

Notes

This pattern is written in American Standard Terms.

Hold two strands of yarn together for the entire pattern including the handles.

I cannot guarantee how different yarns will work up with this pattern. I highly HIGHLY urge you to use the yarn that the pattern was written with.

When working in rounds we will be placing a stitch marker in the first stitch of every round.

This is a crossbody bag so you will have one long handle attached.

    444 yards? So how many do you use if it comes in 3.69 oz?

      Each skein is 242 yards. This bag is worked up holding two skeins together at the same time so you will need approximately 2 skeins of this yarn to make the bag.
