I love reusable bags, I usually take some anywhere when I’m out in town for shopping! That’s why I created this beautiful market bag.

I used my Sakura Face Scrubbies pattern and extended it to create this beautifully textured bottom part which gives some extra touch to the final product!

I used Paintbox Yarns Cotton DK in lime green colourway. It is a very vibrant colour and brightens up a gloomy day. :)

It is an easy pattern but a bit more advanced because of some special stitches used. Written in US terms only.

Gauge: 5 half double crochets = approx. 1 inch

I hope you’ll enjoy this pattern as much as I did when creating it!

If you have any questions feel free to contact me.

Happy crocheting!
