Sunday Market Bag – FREE PATTERN

Sharing is caring!

Spring is near, and warmer weather is approaching! I’m a warm weather girl for sure! I love getting out to farmer’s markets and picnics in the park in the Spring, a lovely family tradition for those warm Sunday’s. This year we will have a new bag to carry all our goodies! The Sunday Market Bag!

Modern and Stylish

Who says function can’t be pretty?! The Sunday Market Bag provides a basic function of carrying your stuff and you can look cute doing it! With single use bags on their way out we might as well make something pretty to replace them, right?!

The Sunday Market Bag is worked from the bottom up and in the round. The main body is a quick one row repeat. By using the linked stitches it really helps prevent as much stretching as some stitches allow.

Rnd 2: HDC in 1st ST, LHDC in each ST around, join to 1st HDC, CH1 (1 HDC, 71 LHDC).

Rnd 3: Repeat Rnd 2 , CH 2 after the join instead of 1 (1 HDC, 71 LHDC).

For a larger base you can do more rounds before moving on.

Rnd 4: *SK next ST, HDC in next, CH 1*, Repeat around, join with SLST in top of beginning CH, CH 2 (36 HDC).

Rnd 5 – 25: HDC in 1st HDC from previous round, CH 1, *HDC in next HDC from previous round, CH1* repeat around, join with SLST in top of beginning CH, CH 2 (36 HDC).

We will tie off here to ensure we get the handles in the correct spots. With the nature of crocheting in the round not everyone will finish Rnd 27 in the same place.
