Summer Harvest Market Bag – Free Crochet Pattern

Facebook0Tweet0Pin0

This market bag crochet pattern is the perfect accessory if you are wanting to live more sustainably. The Summer Harvest Market Bag is sturdy enough for carrying produce and lightweight so that it’s easy to carry around. Because this tote requires only two stitches, this bag is a very easy bag that works up quickly and mindlessly.

Over the past year, I have become more conscious about living more sustainably and reducing my waste. A simple and easy way to start reducing waste is using re-usable bags when your shopping instead of the plastic bags.

And what better way to start using reusable bags than by making your own?

Thanks to the stitch used with this bag, the Summer Harvest Bag is really dense and sturdy. I also love how this stitch is similar to the traditional crochet mess market bags, but it is still different and unique!

Because this market bag crochet pattern uses only two stitches, it is a really easy, mindless project.

I used Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton in Goldenrod. This yarn is one of my favorite cotton yarns, it’s soft and it had incredible stitch definition. This yarn is also super durable which is exactly what you want for a bag! Another reason why I love this yarn is because of all the color options. There are 24 color ways to choose from, and they are all so beautiful and vibrant. I think this bag would look lovely in Succulent, Lilac, or Silver.

  • Tapestry needle
  • Stitch marker

Notes

  1. This pattern is written in standard US crochet terms.
  2. This pattern is worked in the round.
  3. 2 strands of yarn are held together throughout the entire pattern.

Size: When laid flat, Width = 13 inches, Length = 13 ½ inches 

Gauge: Approximately 12 rows of 9 scs = 2 inches 

Stitches and Abbreviations:

Sl st: Slip stitch

Ch: Chain

Sc: Single crochet

Cross dc: Cross double crochet – Skip st, work 1 dc in next st, go back and work 1 dc in the skipped st (be sure to work this one around the first dc).

Foundation sc: Foundation single crochet is a technique that works the foundation chains and first row of single crochets at the same time. Tutorials on how to do this technique can be found on YouTube.

Video Tutorial

Need a little more help on how to do the cross dc stitch? Below is a video tutorial on how to do the stitch!

Pattern

Work 108 foundation scs (Counts as row 1). Sl st into the first sc, ch 1.

Round 2-7: 1 sc in every st (108). Sl st into first st, ch 1.

Ch 2 at the end of round 7. From now on, do not join at the end of each round, instead work in a continuous spiral.

Round 8: Skip first st, in next st work 1 dc, go back and work 1 dc in the skipped st (work this dc around the 1st dc). Continue working Cross dc around (108)

Round 9: Work the first dc in the first dc from round 8, work the next dc in the ch 2. Continue working Cross dc around (108)

Round 10-27: Work Cross dc around (108)

Round 28: *Work 82 foundation scs (alternative is ch 82), skip 25 sts (as shown in the picture below), work 1 dc in next st. Go back and work 1 dc in the 25th st (this creates a Cross dc). Work Cross dc for the next 32 sts* repeat one more time. (17 Cross dc on either side of the handles)

Round 29-33: 1 sc in every st (224)

Sl st into st. Fasten off and weave in loose ends.

Bottom

Flip the bag inside out and lay flat. Sew on the line to close the bottom of the bag.

On each side on the bottom, fold to create a point. Sew on the line.

Tack the triangle down on the lines.

Repeat on the other side. Flip the bag back right side out. This is what it should look like.

    In the materials section you say 470 yards of worsted weight (4) held together, I am not seeing where you instruct to use two strands? Is that an error or am I using two strands? I love this and want to make it. ?

      Susan,
      You use two strands of yarn held together throughout the entire pattern.
      Hope this helps!

          Rebecca, the video is a tutorial on how to do the stitch, not a tutorial on how to do the bag

    Grace-
    I love this tote! I am almost finished but I am a stuck. I just finished row 27. It does not say to fasten off, so do I start row 28 with 82 sc foundation? You have in parenthesis “alternative is ch 82” do I ch 82 instead of the sc foundation? Then you mention as shown in picture below. I do not see the picture. Please help me, I am making this tote for a birthday gift.
    Thanks!

    Round 28: *Work 82 foundation scs (alternative is ch 82), skip 25 sts (as shown in the picture below), work 1 dc in next st. Go back and work 1 dc in the 25th st (this creates a Cross dc). Work Cross dc for the next 32 sts* repeat one more time. (17 Cross dc on either side of the handles)

      Victoria,
      I am so sorry that you are having trouble with the pattern. Yes, you can ch 82 instead of doing the sc foundation. This is to create the handle. For some reason, the photo never uploaded when I updated the patter, however I added it now.
      I hope this helps!

    I’m not sure if I’ve made a mistake but I ran out of yarn. Has anyone else had this problem?

    I’m am confused on the beginning of row 8. it says a the end of row seven to chain 2. zdoes that mean chain 2 addition after the sl st and ch listed in the rows 2-7 instruction to make 3 ch total or does it mean chain 2 total after the sl st?

      McKenzie,
      You will chain a total of 2 stitches.

    I am stuck because I can’t figure out how to slip stitch the first row together without it coming out crooked. I had done rows 1-9 and then realized one side of my bag was basically diagonal. Any advice? Also is it supposed to be so wide? I did exactly 108 stitches with the correct yarn weight and hook size, but my bag seems like it’s going to be huge…

      Adeline,

      Hmmmm, Do you have a looser gauge? That might be the problem…

    I love making this bag and the instructions are so easy to follow. The bag is sturdy and holds the weight of alot of contents very well. I just finished my 4th one! They make perfect gifts for all ages.

    I’m not understanding the chain 2 when starting row 9. Could you clarify that for me?

      Kay,
      There is a ch 2 because this is the row where you start working double crochets.
