I’ve been struggling to find a good crochet project to do (as a beginner) and this was perfect! What I love about this pattern is I can sit down and watch a show without having to worry about messing up, my hands just kinda know what to do 😂. Strongly recommend this for a beginner. 🩷🩷

I just wanted to say thank you as this is the easiest tutorial for a market bag on KZbin. And I have searched lots. Very easy to make start with 5 rows Sc and make 40 rows and copy the beginning and few rows of handle Sc and bam you got yourself a market bag. Honestly. Best. One. And easiest to follow. 🏆 from me.

@@crochetdaybyday what happens if you use regular acrylic yarn for this pattern?

[@crochetdaybyday]

@@christinaandi915 You can definitely use regular acrylic yarn. I find that cotton yarn is just a bit more sturdy and bounces back to it's original shape where the acrylic stretches a lot more. Of course after washing the bag it'll go back to its shape, but that's really the only difference. I prefer cotton, but acrylic works too.

Thank you for your clear instructions. I’m a knitter who crocheted a long time ago. I’m at the beginning of the project and my edges are not straight. Also there are fewer stitches than I started out with (25+1). Can you tell me what I’m doing wrong? 🙏

[@crochetdaybyday]

I’m so glad you enjoyed this tutorial! Apologies for the delayed response! It can be pretty easy to add and remove stitches with crochet, so it sounds like maybe a stitch was skipped? I don’t like counting, but if something feels off I go back and try to find the row I may have dropped or added a stitch. Hopefully this was only in the first five rows so you won’t have to go back too far. Let me know if that was helpful or not! I know troubleshooting can be challenging sometimes 💞🤗🧶

[@AmyPerez-fd5gf]

Thank you. I love this pattern but I need help on one thing. One of the straps twisted. Can that be fixed?

[@crochetdaybyday]

It sounds like to fix that you may need to frog it and make sure you’re going into the right stitches? I do prefer the back bump of the chain with the straps, but it shouldn’t really twist if you don’t do it that way. Sounds like something happened in the first row of it twisted. I know it’s a bummer to undo/frog a project, but it might be the best option 🤷🏼‍♀️💞🤗🧶

[@muffintoejuice]

is there any reason we have to use cotton yarn??? i wanna make one for my brother and the yarn he picked is 94% Acrylic and 6% Rayon

[@crochetdaybyday]

Excellent question! Cotton is a lot more sturdy of a yarn. It will stretch, but other yarns can stretch a lot more than cotton. You can certainly use any yarn you’d like! The stretch will vary depending on the fiber, more or less. Use the yarn he picked! Go for it! I’m sure it’s going to turn out amazing! 🧶🤗💞

I have a couple of questions. For one how much yarn does it take in total to make a market bag that has 40 rows? Do you need more than one skein of yarn?

[@crochetdaybyday]

Good question! I realized I never said how much is needed to make this bag, but you’ll need approximately 300+ yards of yarn to make this bag, give or take depending on your tension. I hope that’s helpful! 💞🧶🤗

I love this bag it so easy and beautiful.... this is so embarrassing, how do you connect the side of the bag? I got lost :(

[@crochetdaybyday]

I’m so glad you love it! It can be a little tricky, but when you are making the first row, or foundation row for the straps to connect the bag, you’ll single crochet in the five chain row, and single crochet in the single crochet row for a total of 40 rows in the mesh section. You’ll have five single crochets for the end of the bag on each end, if that makes sense? Take your time and find the right row, or you could just single crochet evenly for 40 rows too. I hope this was helpful! Please let me know! 🤗🧶💞

[@jamielynch6743]

Why did you say that it doesn't matter if the first set of chains made for the handle is twisted, especially when you're going through a chain? I thought you would have gone over the entire chain rather than through a loop. So I guess it ides matter that it's not twisted.

[@crochetdaybyday]

Hi there! Good question! I guess the answer is in your question now that I'm reading it over again. I know sometimes when chaining it can twist, and some people can get caught up in that instead of just trusting the process. And as you noticed, since you got that far in the tutorial, it doesn't really matter. I guess I should have addressed it more, but I wasn't thinking about it at the time. Thanks for the call out! I hope you made a bag and it's turn out great for you! 🧶💞🤗

[@adeleyoung9828]

HI, I'm all good on the pattern - BUT, my handles are twisted - badly, if I force them straight on one side and sc into it straightened up it looks terrible = what am I doing wrong ? thanks so much.

[@crochetdaybyday]

Oh no!! I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing that! Sorry for the delayed response. I'm not 100% sure what could be happening, but I'd recommend undoing the handle to where it starts to twist and make sure you are placing your sc into the right stitch? As in, you may need to go slowly with the first round, make sure the sc are in the spaces of the mesh, then the top of the handle and into the chain for the actual handle. I like to go into the back bumps, which will help with the twisting. I hope that's helpful! Please let me know! 🤗 ❤️ 🧶

[@EmilyFraser-Read]

Ok I’ve made three of these now 😂 it stays the same number of loops in the mesh the entire time right?? My bags continually do not look like these even though I’ve followed the same pattern all 3 times. What on earth am I doing wrong!

[@crochetdaybyday]

Oh nooooo! You’re absolutely right, the same number of loops in the mesh each time. Are you using different brands of yarn for each of them? Sometimes that’ll make it look a little different, so maybe that? Hard to tell without looking at it, but they can vary a little depending on the yarn used, that’s for sure! I’m sure they all look amazing though!! 🤗💞🧶

[@Stayfitwithyari]

Hello! How can I help?

I am making this bag with Lily Sugar and Cream. I have made my 40 rows but the length of the 40 rows is only 20". Yours looks a lot longer! Should I do more rows? I am in the UK and couldn't get the yarn you used.

[@crochetdaybyday]

Hi Stephanie!! This pattern is a trust the process kind of pattern. Make sure it’s 40 rows of the mesh, not including the rows or single crochet only. The bag is going to stretch and take shape once you make the other end of the bag and the handles. Lily Sugar and Cream is a thicker 4 weight yarn and can feel a little stiff, but it will give you the length and size when you’re finished! Let me know how it goes! 💞🤗🧶

Hello there! Apologies for the delay! I think I did 41 rows? It’s been a while since I made one and cannot remember what the tutorial said. But! You can make as many rows as you’d like, but the more rows you make the more it stretches and maybe not on the best way! Let me know if you have any more questions! 💞🤗🧶

[@shelleyknowles7348]

Im curious. Why does it need to be a cotton yarn, please?

[@crochetdaybyday]

Good question! Cotton yarn tends to be a bit more sturdy, but you could use an acrylic yarn if you’d like, or any other yarn. Just keep in mind the stretch of the yarn. Cotton will stretch, but not as much as other yarns so it can keep the shape of the bag and go back to its original shape, or close to. Other yarns can stretch and not stretch back and can lose the integrity of the bag. I find cotton yarn to be better for this type of project. I hope this is helpful! 🤗💞🧶

What is the finished size?

[@crochetdaybyday]

Hi there! The finished size is 18.5” width, 13.5” length, minus the handle. With the handle, 21.5” length. This bad stretches far beyond the finished product. I’d say double, depending on what you choose to put in the bag 🤗🧶💞

[@ys0613]

22:38 each foundation do not match 😢😮

[@crochetdaybyday]

Oh no!!! Apologies for the delayed response! Im so sorry to hear this didn’t work the way as expected! It definitely sounds like one of two things, tension and possibly the number of stitches. Did you double check the stitch count? If you have, maybe go up half a hook size, so 5.5 or maybe a 6 just for the last rows after the mesh is completed. It’s easy for me to get stuck on a tight tension when doing the mesh and remembering to loosen it up to complete the last five single crochet rows. Did you frog the rows before making the handle? Give the bigger book a try and see if that works and make sure you have the right number of stitches. I do this all the time and end up having to go back and undo my work. Definitely part of the process so don’t stress! It’s going to turn out perfect with a little tweaking. Please let me know if you have any other questions! Good luck! You got this! 🤗💞🧶
