Shop all your local farmer’s markets with this lovely market bag – the big sister to my #346 floral mini market bag (sold separately)! It begins with crocheting the lovely floral motif. Then, the sides are crocheted up in an open mesh. The bag finishes with the top borders and solid straps. A great gift you can crochet in vibrant colors for all your friends.

Shown in images with 5 pieces of fruit, but can easily hold a lot more as the mesh is super stretchy.
