Losse Market Bag

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

I used thistle stitch to create those beautifully textured parts which give some extra touch to the final product!

I used Alize Cotton Gold Batik in Color: 4530 and Paintbox Yarns cotton DK in Dusty rose colorway. It is a very vibrant colour choice and those colors easily brighten up a gloomy day. :)

It is an easy pattern but a bit more advanced because of the special thistle stitch used.

Written in US terms only.

Gauge: 5 half double crochets and 2.5 rows = 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!
