I’m super excited to release The Don’t Mesh With Me Market Bag! I’ve been dying to replace my not so pretty reusable bags so I designed some Fab crocheted ones.
This could be one of the most practical usable things I’ve made so far! I specifically designed these for the market and shopping in general. In addition to shopping I need them for project bags and the beach.
I became a little obsessed once I started making them. As a result I ended up making 4 sizes. Because Little Meg needed one her size, I ended up with an extra small (children’s size) a small, medium and large. I concluded the small size shown below is good for heavy items. The medium perfect for produce and the large is perfect for light shopping items. I suggest going with even smaller sized straps for heavy items because they do stretch out over time.
I shop for a family of 6 so you can just imagine the groceries I bring home. Therefore I’ve made several of these bags and used bright colours for Spring. Read on to see what you’ll need to get started.
