Crochet Market Bag! Reusable, Washable, Fun!

[@StephanieZed]

Sorry for the confusion everyone! I made a mistake in my video. FIRST ROW OF LOOPS SHOULD BE 19 *****NOT****** 18. For small bag start with 21 chain, then 20 Sc in first row, repeat for 5-6 rows. First row of loops should be 19 loops. Then repeat. For large bag start with 31 chain, then 30 Sc in first row, repeat for 5-6 rows. First row of loops should be 29 loops. Then repeat.

[@StephanieZed]

I did put a note on it, 2 days ago, I hope it helps. Thank you!

[@pamelarousseau3335]

Thats ok. Its my first time with crochet and somehow i only have 13 loops. Oh Well. As long as the bag can carry things in the end I'm fine with it.

[@splianka]

Absolutely adorable bag. Can't wait to make more... I believe there are comments on this towards the bottom but one other correction is that when you start gathering the other end to make the top solid strip of single stitches (it's about halfway through the video once you've made the correct length of loops), you add only the *one* extra SC at the beginning and then add SC in all the following loops, which will give you either 20 or 30 SCs depending on what size bag. I believe this video says you'll end up with 19 (although she makes a follow up video where she correctly explains how to do this and she ends up with 20 which is what I found is correct). As far as I can tell, it's the only part where I got confused for a second as otherwise the directions are super clear and helpful. So happy I found this video and really happy with the end result. Thanks!

My daughter, daughter-in-law, and I now each have one of these wonderful market bags. The connected chains are somewhat tedious to crochet, but the end result is completely worth the boredom. ;) I suggest listening to an audiobook or two while making this project to make it a bit more enjoyable. Thank you, once again, for an excellent tutorial and beautiful, functional design! xox

[@327zam]

I made this bag as a beginner. I ran out of yarn, then used cotton twine. Then I ran out of cotton twine and one of my kids gave me a ball of hot pink acrylic yarn. OMG! I love this bag! It is perfect. ! Thank you so much!

[@sonsniches]

how big did you make your bag and how much yarn did you use?

[@327zam]

@@sonsniches I made the size she indicated in the video. I started with a ball of I love this cotton yarn from hobby lobby, but I ran out of that halfway through the net part. I think two of those skeins of yarn would have made the whole thing. The skein I used was 3 oz., 85g, and 153 yards, 140m.

[@j...g]

Just finished this in red yarn!! I'm in love!! The mesh stretches to accommodate what you put in it, which looks really cool. For anyone else making this, if the bag just looks like it's getting wider and wider instead of longer, you're still doing it right. Remember the stretch! I made the large bag, which is actually super large when you consider how much the mesh stretches out. Thank you for this wonderful tutorial, Stephanie!

[@StephanieZed]

Thank you for the great comments!😃

[@babygrandma8654]

I just want to say Thanks for showing how you did your invisible stitch. Not every crochet channel shows how to do it as clearly. I already know how to do it, but am aware that many crocheters don't. When I find a video that is very clear on what to do I'll pass on the video to my learning grandkids coz, well, this ol' granny can't always be in person when they have a question on how to do something. Thanks again!! 💛🙏

[@StephanieZed]

Glad it was helpful! I hate cutting the yarn as well! LOL

[@Julie-wh4gi]

I noticed from the comments below that many had the same problem as me. When decreasing to begin the top border of the other side of the bag, one ends up with 1 additional stitch (21 for the small bag, 31 for the large bag) (10:05). However, the other border is 20 sts wide (small bag; 30 sts for large bag) (3:25). You mentioned that each side should match, therefore one should decrease 1 additional st in that initial decreasing row to match the number of stitches in the original border (20 for small, 30 for large). Thank you for the great video - this is the only area that didn't work out mathematically according to the instructions.

[@StephanieZed]

Each end should be the same. I have another bag video out there. Maybe it is explained better.kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJe8g6xoetJ-iqs

[@macsmack6961]

It took me a week to make the small bag. I used around 210 g of medium black yarn and used a 5 mm crochet hook. The bag looked small at first but it actually holds a lot of things due to how stretchy the yarn is. I had to redo a few sections but overall, I love the way my bag turned out!

[@rnrchres]

This was my first crochet project. I didn't see the comment about making 19 loops but the resulting bag looks identical to the one shown in the video. I found the instructions clear although sometimes it was hard to see where exactly to place the hook. I am excited to start on my second bag. Many thanks.

Of all the market mesh bag patterns out there, this is my favorite. It works up quickly and is really cute. I find that I get a neater sides when I start and end with a chain 3 instead of 5. It doesn't change the size of the bag. :) Thanks for sharing!

Thanks so much for this tutorial. I made the large bag and feared at one point that I could park my Jeep in it, it looked so big! But, it turned out perfectly in the end and I just love it! Making a small version for a friend now. What great gifts they will make. 😀👍🏻

Hahaha. That’s funny. I make mostly small bags now as well. Some yarns just stretch more as well. 😊

[@maryseguevara8131]

Such a great pattern, and easy. Thank you for sharing! I've made 10 small bags using different yarns. I found as long as you start with an odd number, it will be fine. The only thing I struggled with was the straps. I have to slightly reposition in order to get little loops jutting away from the bag. Then I finish my last round using a smaller hook and this helps gather in those sides a bit. They don't need to be sewn because when you pick up the bag, they straighten quite a bit. I'd say mine could hold 6-8 medium apples. I think I'll fill mine with goodies and use them for gifts, or raffle items for fundraisers. Maybe a beach theme, or lemonade.

Thank you! Very nice pattern. One does need to pay attention though, it's easy to forget to chain 5 and not realize it till your on the next row. Suggestions: Count your loops after each row. Also, to count the number of rows you've done, count along the side, one row for each loop and one row for each single crochet between, OR count two rows for each loop. I got really confused counting the number of rows and ended up with 55. LOL. Went with it, and now have the super size version. :)

If anyone is interested: I made one of the bigger size in the Hobbii Frutta yarn (100% cotton). I found that a 4,5mm hook is better, although the wrap says to use a 5mm hook.
