Who Can Crochet This Market Bag Pattern?
The Circle Leaf Market Bag crochet pattern from Briana K Designs will suit advanced beginners. It’s a fun tote bag project that you can create in a couple of days.
The main mesh pattern works up with Circle Leaf Stitch, which is a creative combination of Stacked Single Crochets and Stacked Clusters. The top and the base of the bag are done using primarily half double crochets, creating a strong, solid texture.
What Yarn Works Best For the Circle Leaf Market Bag?
For this summer crochet market bag project, the designer recommends using Herrschners Cottage Cotton. It’s a high-quality blend of cotton and acrylic, perfect for working up a sturdy fabric with a bit of nice stretch.
You can also choose any medium-weight yarn you like, but make sure it meets the gauge. Otherwise, your accessory may turn out bigger or smaller than the sample seen in the photos.
How Big Is the Finished Market Bag?
The finished market bag measures 12” x 14” when made with yarn in aran weight and a 4.5 mm crochet hook. Its size may differ slightly depending on one’s individual tension. The bag is large enough to work as a functional grocery carry-all or stylish beach bag.
