Intermediate Pattern But Beginners Can Try
The crochet market bag pattern is meant for the more intermediate as it will involve working with two strands of cotton. For the more experienced you already know that working with two strands of cotton can be somehow taxing on the wrists and hands.
But, this should not deter any beginners from trying out this pattern as the results are worth it.
Detailed PDF And Illustrated Tutorial
So, the instructions in the PDF’s and tutorials are very detailed and are explained in simple English that is easy to understand. They are also rich in illustrations and pictures depicting every step of the process, so you don’t get lost.
Even if you are a beginner if you follow the instructions strictly, I guarantee you will end up with a stunning market bag.
There are quite a number of things that you can do with the market bag crochet pattern to make it your own. You do not have to limit your imagination especially when it comes to the colors. You can try mixing up different colored cotton like I did to give it that unique aspect.
Use Different Size Yarn For Different Strength Bags
Mine looks more like a beautiful rainbow than a bag, but I like it that way. I like it more colorful, so play around with yours and create something that you will like. You could also try different weights of cotton.
Use lighter cotton to crochet market bags for lighter shopping use and heavier cotton for heavier duty bags.
Whatever you fancy about a bag, you can make it with the market bag crochet pattern. An idea I want to try out is adding buttons to the rim, so that I can be able to close it.
The applications for this crochet pattern are endless. If you wanted a bag that can serve you anywhere and anytime then the crochet market bag pattern is just what you need. And if it’s what you need, need I say more? So go on, get the pattern right now and make your market bag.
