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.

Just to make sure I'm understanding the minimum sizing requirement for entry information, instead of working the full 25 rows of repeats, you will accept bags that are worked to at least 18 rows of the bag pattern (the first 8 rows being the base of the bag), before moving on to the band/handle section?

Yes... that's right. 10 Rows minimum for the cross stitch area affect.
