I'm so excited that the world is beginning to open back up and with the local markets opening back up I can't wait to get shopping! I'll be using this easy crochet market bag pattern to make more of my own crochet shopping bags. With this free crochet market bag pattern we will be able to pop our purchases in to so we can carry them round in style!

This free crochet market bag pattern is a quick and easy crochet project that comes with a full video tutorial so you know you will be completing this make in no time!
Plus you only need one self-striping yarn cake to make it! I used just 1 Lion Brand Mandala Ombre cake to complete my market bag and I love all the different colours they have to chose from!
The yarn is soft and when worked in the offset mesh stitch pattern, it creates a stretchy crochet market bag, perfect to fill up with all those locally made makes you’ll find on your shopping trips!
I've used this yarn before in my Make With A Cake Shawl and I just knew it would be perfect for this bag pattern! I'm tempted to remake my Granny's Shopping bag in this yarn too - although that bag is a bit bigger so may need 2 or 3 cakes for that pattern.
I'm also pleased that there’s no need to worry about filling the bag up with all my purchases! Alongside the stretchy fabric, the handle is extra wide to keep it comfy on your shoulder too!
If you’re ready to get making your very own crochet shopping bag, grab your yarn cake and your 5mm crochet hook and lets get started!
