Crochet Market Bag! Reusable, Washable, Fun! 

Sorry for the confusion everyone! I made a mistake in my video. FIRST ROW OF LOOPS SHOULD BE 19 *****NOT****** 18. For small bag start with 21 chain, then 20 Sc in first row, repeat for 5-6 rows. First row of loops should be 19 loops. Then repeat. For large bag start with 31 chain, then 30 Sc in first row, repeat for 5-6 rows. First row of loops should be 29 loops. Then repeat.

Came here from Passioknit goods' vlog. 😊 now i'm making the bag.

i made this on my first attempt as a beginner - knowing nothing about crocheting and it was awesome! thank you

Thank you so much for summarizing the pattern in the description! I needed a quick refresher after not making this bag in a while, and reading through the description was so helpful!❤

did i just watch this complete tutorial just to see how you make it but not actually making it right now? yes, will i remember tihs? no. hotel? trivago

This tutorial was perfect. Great lighting,she spoke slowly and put the words on the screen . No background music or noise. No pets traveling in front of the camera. 🎉 😊 perfection 🥰

Hi, just finished. During lockdown period. Stay home and do some thing awesome. Love from India. God bless us.

Im 16, real beginner, and made this easy!!! Really proud of myself and also feel like einstein :)

My dad uses this almost exact bag as his mushroom hunting bag, he’s had it for at least 15+ years and it’s all ripped up… I’m so excited to surprise him with this for his birthday!! ❤

I suffer from perfectionism and struggle to enjoy making things sometimes. This was super easy and I enjoyed every bit of it. Was super quick to make too! Thank you 🥰

I'm making my sixth bag. I've tried several patterns, but I have a hard time with numbers and counting. This pattern is the only one I've been able to make 🙏💜

I am one happy bag lady 😁 I've been crocheting 5 years and this is the first thing I've EVER made to completion. It was simple and I LOVE it. Ty do much Stephanie. Fab teacher 🥰🥰🥰

I made this bag as a beginner. I ran out of yarn, then used cotton twine. Then I ran out of cotton twine and one of my kids gave me a ball of hot pink acrylic yarn. OMG! I love this bag! It is perfect. ! Thank you so much!

My daughter, daughter-in-law, and I now each have one of these wonderful market bags. The connected chains are somewhat tedious to crochet, but the end result is completely worth the boredom. ;) I suggest listening to an audiobook or two while making this project to make it a bit more enjoyable. Thank you, once again, for an excellent tutorial and beautiful, functional design! xox

Can't believe I managed 50 rows of mesh in just 2 days 😂 now to do the handles. Thanks so much for this pattern! 🫶🏻

Omg! I made this in a day, it was super fun and turned out so cute! I got 20 loops with a 21 chain, and at 32 rows it was 22" ! This bag is amazing! I love it so much thank you!!

This bag could be called an all purpose bag. It is lovely. Thank you for the tutorial.

It took me a week to make the small bag. I used around 210 g of medium black yarn and used a 5 mm crochet hook. The bag looked small at first but it actually holds a lot of things due to how stretchy the yarn is. I had to redo a few sections but overall, I love the way my bag turned out!

Just finished this in red yarn!! I'm in love!! The mesh stretches to accommodate what you put in it, which looks really cool. For anyone else making this, if the bag just looks like it's getting wider and wider instead of longer, you're still doing it right. Remember the stretch! I made the large bag, which is actually super large when you consider how much the mesh stretches out. Thank you for this wonderful tutorial, Stephanie!

Of all the market mesh bag patterns out there, this is my favorite. It works up quickly and is really cute. I find that I get a neater sides when I start and end with a chain 3 instead of 5. It doesn't change the size of the bag. :) Thanks for sharing!

This was my first ever project and let me tell you ITS SO EASY!! This made me so happy because another time I would fail and be super upset, but this tutorial was so clear and now I have a bag!!!

i'm so excited to make this for my grandma's birthday next month!! she taught me crocheting as a kid but then i sadly forgot it and picked it back up last year during the pandemic! she can't crochet anymore due to her bad wrists but she's so involved in everything i'm making so i can't wait for this :')

This is so much more efficient than other patterns/tutorials I have seen that have you cutting the yarn, etc. Thank you!

Such a great pattern, and easy. Thank you for sharing! I've made 10 small bags using different yarns. I found as long as you start with an odd number, it will be fine. The only thing I struggled with was the straps. I have to slightly reposition in order to get little loops jutting away from the bag. Then I finish my last round using a smaller hook and this helps gather in those sides a bit. They don't need to be sewn because when you pick up the bag, they straighten quite a bit. I'd say mine could hold 6-8 medium apples. I think I'll fill mine with goodies and use them for gifts, or raffle items for fundraisers. Maybe a beach theme, or lemonade.

I just want to say Thanks for showing how you did your invisible stitch. Not every crochet channel shows how to do it as clearly. I already know how to do it, but am aware that many crocheters don't. When I find a video that is very clear on what to do I'll pass on the video to my learning grandkids coz, well, this ol' granny can't always be in person when they have a question on how to do something. Thanks again!! 💛🙏

I messed up like 7 minutes in and had to pull it apart 😭😭 but on the bright side this is my first time crotcheting and this is the first tutorial I’ve ever been able to follow

I started this tutorial as an absolute beginner, and now I have a cute lil market bag. Super happy with it. Great tutorial!!!

This is my second project I’ve made of yours. You explain everything so well and your tutorials are easy to follow. I think I’m just going to work my way through all you videos. Thank you!

Thank you so much for the great, EASY to understand tutorial! My bag came out beautiful. I did not have any cotton yarn on hand, so I made it in Red Heart Persimmon & I love the way it came out! 💖

I noticed from the comments below that many had the same problem as me. When decreasing to begin the top border of the other side of the bag, one ends up with 1 additional stitch (21 for the small bag, 31 for the large bag) (10:05). However, the other border is 20 sts wide (small bag; 30 sts for large bag) (3:25). You mentioned that each side should match, therefore one should decrease 1 additional st in that initial decreasing row to match the number of stitches in the original border (20 for small, 30 for large). Thank you for the great video - this is the only area that didn't work out mathematically according to the instructions.

Thanks so much for this tutorial. I made the large bag and feared at one point that I could park my Jeep in it, it looked so big! But, it turned out perfectly in the end and I just love it! Making a small version for a friend now. What great gifts they will make. 😀👍🏻

I made this bag without any trouble. After my first smaller bag I made two bigger bags. They are great to go to the beach because the sand falls through, not taking the sand home.

I made this!! Thank you for the excellent instructions and the exceptional video. I appreciated seeing the details of how you did the stiches and held the yarn. You made this project feel so much more approachable because of your attention to sharing the details.

Thank you for this super easy to follow tutorial! I have just finished my new crochet market bag! I used 2 colours (orange for the handles and the 6 first and last rows, and blue for the rest). I love it :)

Just made this as my first bag project. Followed your instructions for the smaller bag. Looking forward to making more and larger sizes. Thanks!

I finished my bag. It turned out beautiful. Very easy tutorial for beginners. I'm gonna make more of them to give as a present. Thank you very muvh

hi! i just wanted to say im a beginner at crochet and this is the first ever project i completed! it took me 3 days of work, around 11 hours, but again im a WAYY beginner - so anyone whos more experienced will probably laugh at my pace haha. thank you so much for your video, you do a wonderful job at providing clarity and showing clearly how to work certain stitches. i love my bag so much

Thank you so much . With you I made my first crochet project ever . And it turns out beautiful ! Now after a year I can’t stop crocheting 💐

i made this bag!! i used 3.5 hook and 100% mercerized cotton yarn, because i wanted my mesh to be smaller. i followed the instructions and just added more rows, my bag came out exactly like in the video, i love it, thank you for such a great explanation!!

Currently on my 1st attempt on this project. So relaxing and pleasing at the same time. Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial.

thank you! my state is banning single use grocery bags next month so this will definitely come in handy!

This is the first market bag tutorial I actually managed to follow, I hope to get it done soon, thank you so much for the tutorial!

Took me a while but I made one in a larger size! I feel so accomplished! 😁 Edit* I also wanted to mention that this bag holds a lot of items and stretches so well, I have washed it several times, it's my favorite grocery bag!

Thank you for such a great tutorial! I made my first bag just before Christmas and have now made 5 of these in different colours for presents. Very clear and easy to follow for me as a beginner.

This was my first crochet project. I didn't see the comment about making 19 loops but the resulting bag looks identical to the one shown in the video. I found the instructions clear although sometimes it was hard to see where exactly to place the hook. I am excited to start on my second bag. Many thanks.

I made this as an absolute beginner, had literally bought my first set of supplies the day i started, was able to make this first go! This project boosted my confidence, i’m excited to make more pieces!

What a beautiful bag and such a nicely done video! Thank you so much, excited to try. I first watched this video when I was an earrrrlier beginner lol. Now I’m still a beginner since I keep leaving crochet and then coming back but this looks so fun and it’s something new🫶🏽

This was magnificently simple to follow and very well demonstrated. I was searching for an easier pattern to finish a French market bag I had initiated a few months ago. I was beginning to feel deflated thinking it was going to be an unfinished project. THANK YOU for this! 🙌🏾🙏🏾

Thank you for showing every step for beginners like me. You are great! I am gonna crochet this bag tonight using your video. You’re a great teacher! I am gonna subscribe you

It's a wonderful bag. Made already 4. Makes a great gift 🎁. Thank you very much. 🙏

I have only been crocheting for a couple of months, and this was wonderfully simple to understand and follow! Thank you for such a detailed tutorial!

That was the most relaxing video I've ever seen. Your voice is calming, you explained the steps when you needed to and no loud PORN music. Some of these videos explain things in such a loud way (both voice and music). And they talk too much. GREAT JOB!!! I may actually attempt this project during this crazy time. Stay well everyone.

I really love the way you designed the handles, they’ll definitely hold up! Great tutorial! 💜🙏💜👏👍

Very good instructions, thank you! I plan to make these for Christmas gifts this year.

You are an excellent teacher and this is a great pattern. I plan to make a few more for gifts. Thank you.

Thank you. Your instructions are clear and easy to follow. Just finished mine. Bigger but I wanted it so.

This video is amazing! So clear to follow. Made this bag and everyone is raving about it. This is a good beginner piece. Thank you for your help in advancing my crochet skills!

I’ve made this bag many times. I use a thermal stitch for the handles. This makes them not stretch out as much and doesn’t dig into the solder when the bag is full

Thank you, it was very easy to follow along. It being my second attempt. Mines came out cute, can’t wait to gift it to my friend.

i finished this in like 2 days and i love this pattern. if u think the small bag is too small it STRETCHES more than u think(in my opinion it went like down to my knees when it had stuff in it and it fits big text books too) i recommend the small bag!!👍

Thanks for this tutorial i love the pattern I started with 31chains but made a total of 52 loops since I used a sockweight multi strand thread for the project. It was so easy to understand I really enjoyed making this bag. So I shared your tutorial to my friends. God bless you!

I just crocheted this and it is beautiful. Thank you so much for this gorgeous pattern. Very easy to follow. I chose the larger size and was still able to follow along. Thank you!

Thank you so much for posting this pattern. It was fun to do and my first real project as a beginner (besides dishcloths to practice stitches). I'll be making more for gifts. You rock!

This is a fantastic video! I love that this pattern is super flexible. Literally sat down and made a rainbow one all in one go!

Thanks for this tutorial. I made it using color changing yarn and it turned out real pretty. 🥰

Just finished the small size and it's super cute! My 7 year old daughter claimed it. Now, i have to make the larger size for myself! I double stranded 1 weight super fine cotton yarnin a natural linen color.

I finished my bag today! I love it and I love how easy you made it to follow along on your video. This is my first crochet project :)

LOVE THIS BAG! I took the supplies with me on a cruise to make this bag and it was a great vacation project! I made the larger version and I love it! I think I’ll be making a few as Christmas presents this year. Thank you so much for your beautiful, easy-to-follow video and instructions.

Thank you! Very nice pattern. One does need to pay attention though, it's easy to forget to chain 5 and not realize it till your on the next row. Suggestions: Count your loops after each row. Also, to count the number of rows you've done, count along the side, one row for each loop and one row for each single crochet between, OR count two rows for each loop. I got really confused counting the number of rows and ended up with 55. LOL. Went with it, and now have the super size version. :)

I started crochet 3 days ago and was able to make this thank you so much for this!

I’m currently in the middle of the video and I’m already in love with my new produce bag! It’s gonna be such a nice addition to my crochet collection. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. Thank you for the awesome video!

Thanks for the pattern. I'm working on a second bag for my daughter. They are beautiful bags and easy to crochet ❤️

i finally finished this after 2-3 days , came out amazing only had to refer to the video a few times for instructions but other than that very straight forward. thanks so much new subscriber for sure 💕

I just finished this bag and I am in love. This pattern is so smart and was great for one of my first projects. Amazing video and instructions 😭💖

Thank you so much for this amazing and very thoughtful video! I am such a “ visual “ person. You have a lovely patient mannerism about you and have taken the time to prepare an easy to follow program! . I am so excited to start this project ! You are truly inspirational !

Just finished my first bag ever thanks to this video!! I didn’t know what I was doing half of the time but I made it through :) tehehe Thank you!!

I love how she showed the thickness, its very helpful

I always come back to this video when I make these and I’ve sold a few too❤️❤️

Thank you very much!!! This is the first crochet project that I finish 🥰 and I love it! (P.s. I did with 18 loops and it came out just fine. Thank you!!!!

Thank you for posting this. Your instructions are so clear and detailed

Oh my this was a process. I finally finished and I love it ( ny first crochet project) 😭. I swore I would not be making another one cuz it's way too daunting, now I'm planning on make one for every colour 👀💀. Thank you x3 this has been a journey I feel like I'm so much wiser in crocheting

I’ve had this saved to watch for awhile now. Perfect bag for vacation. My first one from a Ravelry pattern is not at all what it’s pictured to be. Thank you

Thanks for the video tutorial. I like how you make it simple and easy to understand 😊👍🏼

really enjoyed making this :) i used a 3.5 yarn instead of a 5 and it took less than 2 100g balls, although the size of it is definitely smaller and I when around the sides 5 times and not six. super easy project for beginners as I lost count several times but the end product didn't suffer!

I’m doing this with hemp yarn - and man is it stringy!! No stretch at all, 7 or 8 strands loosely collected together - my work looks a mess but I’m getting the hang of it.

LOVE this video! It's 2.40 am with me and I must go to bed but I WILL be doing this first thing in the morning/afternoon. Awesome video!

I just finished making a small bag! It took me two days with huge breaks (probably would’ve taken me a day without breaks lol) BUT ITS SO CUTE!! Thank you so much for this tutorial :D

The amount of times I go back to this video is crazy 😂

Wow,nice.you have explained it nicely and neatly.👏 Thanks. Namsty. 🙏

Thank you!! I made mine watching TV last night. It is a pretty nice project

Your beautiful bag has enticed me back into crochet after many years. Thank you for the lovely, easy to follow video! I'm truly "hooked" and have already bought much more yarn than I should have. My first bag is finished, and it is so beautiful I can't wait to make more! I'm already planning how to experiment with color and embellishments.

Just made a GIANT purple bag! Your method was easy to follow and adapt. Thank you. I am thinking Christmas presents for the grown kids.

I finished mine bag today and it looks really good! It was really easy to follow. Thank you for this awesome tutorial!

Such a fabulous tutorial! I can see myself making this in many colors! Thank you.

I've seen multiple people in the comments confused about why their bags are shorter than her measurements in the video and the same thing was happening to me, but I figured out my problem! I was accidentally slip stitching into the loops instead of doing a single crochet. I'm a beginner and I assume a lot of people are making the same mistake. Hope this helps someone!

I gave this as a gift this Christmas. Great tutorial! Thank you 😊

Thank you! This tutorial is great ans I made a bag for myself! The straps ended up too long for the size of my bag so Im going to make another! I love this tutorial so much!!!!

Absolutely lovely, especially how the sc's draw up the sides, so much easier than crocheting in a circle!

This video was very very well done! The instructions were so clear! One of the best I’ve seen. The only thing would be to know exactly how many skeins to use for a small or large bag. I read the previous comments and was able to figure out what I needed. Thanks so much!
