Crochet Market Bag Pattern- Magnolia Market Bag

 Summer time means trips to the farmers market, the library, the pool or beach, and hopefully more crochet time! And what do you need for all of that?! A crochet market bag!

The Magnolia Collection

I was inspired to create this design because I am so in love with the stitch combo and wanted to make everything with it!

I had already designed the Magnolia Shardi and the Magnolia Tee and I wanted to try out a slouchy market bag next.

For this bag I chose a cotton yarn because I knew I wanted something sturdy for carrying things like produce or books. I chose a 100% cotton yarn because cotton is just so sturdy and great for bags!

Crochet Bag Details

You will need approximately 250-300 yards of worsted weight (#4) cotton yarn to create this bag.

This pattern is rated Easy in difficulty. You only need to know basic crochet stitches such as double crochet, single crochet, and chaining.

This bag is worked from the bottom up, with a mix of joined and continuous rounds.

The size of the bag is 13″x 14″ laid flat, but it can easily be customized to be larger or smaller. 

This crochet pattern is one of my best selling patterns! It is one of those projects that are just fun to make over and over again! These bags are so useful and are great for gifting or selling at markets and craft fairs!
