Willow Mesh Crochet Market Bag
The Willow Mesh Crochet Market Bag is designed to be lightweight and practical. It’s an accessory that fits seamlessly into your everyday routine, from quick errands to weekend markets.
This bag is worked from the bottom up in the round, starting with a solid, structured base that gives it strength and support where it matters most. From there, the pattern transitions into the airy Willow Mesh stitch, creating a lacy, expandable fabric that keeps the bag light while still holding more than you might expect.
A reinforced top trim adds stability, and the handles are crocheted directly into the bag for a clean, polished look. A light steam block at the end opens up the stitchwork and enhances the drape, giving the bag its final shape.
With three sizes to suit your needs, this stunningly simple market bag is one you’ll keep reaching for.
