I absolutely love designing market/tote bags as I love using them myself. Not just because it’s eco-friendly but it looks super cute too! So enjoy my newest design, I hope you’ll find it as useful as me.

The pattern itself is using some different stitches (cluster stitches, stitching in the 3rd loop of hdc, sc, hdc, dc) to create a nice, modern but textured look.

Gauge: 4 SC and 4 Rows = 1” (2.5 cm)
