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.

If you are in the 'market' for a new market bag, you should try this pattern. The tutorial is below to help you with the special stitch that is required.
We have actually done a Challenge with this bag a few years ago. You can see all the different bag colour combinations that were submitted for this same pattern. View The Submissions Gallery

Oh, Mikey! I am LOVING THIS PROJECT!!!!
Finding Red Heart yarn in Australia is near to impossible, so I am using a cotton blend yarn in rainbow colours. It's looking great, but the best bit is it is a functional item that is pushing me to learn some new stitches and techniques.
Thanks so much for the easy to follow tutorial (as always), and the opportunity to crochet along on such a fab project with a bunch of other hookers worldwide.
LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!

On the minimum size requirements it states base and diameter must be the same size. If I use a size 3 cotton it will measure smaller than pattern. This wont qualify?
Mikey, The Crochet Crowd says
Same size meaning stitch counts wise... When changing your yarn, it will change the dimensions but you still need to follow the stitch.
Lisa Young says
Awesome! Thanks. I decided to double up the cotton thread 🙂

I am enjoying this project! My first challange was the heart scarf. I didn't finish in time for the drawing, but the main thing for me is that I DID finish. For me, these challanges are a great learning tool. You explain things so well! I am excited to finish my bag! Thanks Mikey !!
