This Little Bag Went to Market
We had fun with this crochet little market bag a few years back. It has an interesting stitch which I hadn't seen before that allows the bag to expand in a geometric mesh formation. It's pretty spectacular.

Thanks a ton for the wonderful tutorial. Was great to learn a new stitch. Just finished making the bag but tweaked it a little. I made it a bit smaller by working the handles after row 19. Will post it on my Facebook page - Calming Crafts- shortly.

Hi. I'm wondering what yarn you used as the Red Heart Luster is discontinued.
Thanks.

I did not finish my market bag either. I ripped out more rows than crocheted it seemed like...lol. Had a hard time when starting the next star row.... well it was the following row that had the issue because I would have too many arms to my stars when I slipped stitched to the next row because I didn't follow directions at the beginning of a row and would have to rip the entire row out. Finally paid attention and got to row 15 last night. I will get this finished and can't wait to use it. Thanks for this challenge. I haven't crocheted much in years and this made me realize I can read a pattern, if I put my mind to it.

Didn't get done before deadline. I was going to work on it exclusively yesterday, but ended up having to frog back to Row 8. 🙂 Everytime I picked it up to work on it, I ended up frogging. I was trying to work from the red heart written pattern. Finally watched Mikey's video and got on the right track, but I didn't have time to finish. I am using the Luster Sheen in the natural color. I have learned a lot. Also, I plan to use the Luster sheen on some future projects. Also, I'll watch the video first before starting a pattern. I have been crocheting for 60 years and thought I knew everything. I've never had so much trouble following a pattern. The diagram you drew in the video was the lightbulb moment for me. Red Heart should consider adding a diagram of Rows 9 and 10.
