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

OMG... I did it! I was soooo confused. The pattern is not the same as the video at all and it had me crazy BUT... I just ignored the pattern and learned from the video and omg... I never ever thought I could get this but I not only can follow the stitch but I really understand it. Mikey... I would never have learned this without you as the pattern was so confusing to me after the circle. I am amazed... I can actually do this now!!! I can't wait to finish it lol. For those having problems, just follow the video and don't compare with the pattern; you will end of getting it 🙂 THANK YOU SO MUCH Mikey!!!!

I consider myself an experienced crocheter, Yet......... I totally agree this written pattern was not the same at all as to Mikey's video, I also put the written one aside and followed this video. Thank you Mikey so much for creating the video ! I suggest the written directions should be re-edited or tossed out lol

The stitch everyone is having a problem with is actually a double treble crochet (dtr). I used the stitch in a shawl pattern recently. It's just badly written and that's why everyones' heading is spinning from trying to read it. If you sub a dtr for all the yo's and pull throughs it would make more sense.
I just started row 9 per the pattern and will check with the tutorial to see if it's correct. As they say a picture is worth a thousand words. In this case it may be more.

I have tried 3 stores in search of this luster sheen yarn. Does anyone have a suggestion of where I could find it?

Red Heart Yarn is having a 15% off and $2.99 shipping special right now. They have some. Not in all colors but they also have colors in "baby" sheen which is the same thing.

I ordered it from: http://www.knitting-warehouse.com/. It's a little cheaper, but I don't remember how much shipping was. (This is my "go to" site for yarn ordering, they have great prices.)
Good luck!
