crochet:: market bag

Since my gig at the bakery fell through a couple months ago, I have been trying to decide on my next step to move more towards my bliss. I have been visiting farmers’ markets and I really like the vibe. I am also quite inspired by these girls that do the market thing regularly. You can find all of them on facebook and Etsy.

Jill @ Jam Tarts

Alice @ Random Girl Alice

Barbie @ Ta-Da! Workshop

Margaret @ RJ Ranch Pottery

One thought I had was that people might want a bag to purchase at said markets to carry their produce etc. This was my first stab at a market bag, and I would have to price items made with this pattern sky-high to make any money. I love the style, the shape and the size but it took me more than 4 hours of hooking to make 1 bag. So, I am keeping this one for myself. Because I will need something to carry all my money home in, amiright?

You can find the pattern here.

I am now working on my own simplified version of a market bag. I’ve also contacted my local farmers’ market for the rules & regs and it looks like I will be back in business next Wednesday! Yeehaw!

Make your day ridiculously amazing :)
