The Daisy Market Bag Crochet Pattern shouts “Spring” with its variety of textured stitches including the small daisy stitch.
Welcome week one of the 2023 Marvellous Market Bag Crochet Along! I love hosting this crochet along each year. This is the third year hosting the event and it is always a fun event where you can meet new friends, learn new stitches and use up some of the cotton yarn that you have around the house.
Market bags are a great crochet project, they are not only practical and great for the environment, but are smaller, quicker projects that are easily completed in a few days. You can make them for yourself, family members, friends or to sell at a craft fair. They a simply an all around great project to make.

As mentioned above, this is the first market bag design in the 2023 Marvellous Market Bag crochet along. If this is your first time hearing about this crochet along, be sure to checkout the introduction post here: 2023 Marvellous Market Bag Crochet Along.
The Construction:
Our crochet market bag today is worked in rounds from the bottom up. It is worked as one piece even into the continuous handles. I have worked the bag in a 100% cotton yarn called 24/7 Cotton by Lion Brand in three different colours which you can read about below. As I find even the worsted/medium weight yarn is on the lighter side, I paired it with a 4 mm crochet hook. In the video tutorial below I will be using a 4mm crochet how with a handmade handle that was crafted by a friend from college!
PDF Copies are also Available:
The pattern will be written out in full below and will forever remain free when viewed here on Rich Textures Crochet, and the written instruction will be followed by a video tutorial.

your site is horrible. first you say the patterns are free but you ask for a cc. then when I am finally able to get into your site it is filled with dozens of ads all through the pattern out of the 3 patterns I wanted was only able to get into 1 and was directed to etsy or eBay to buy the bag.
Hello Lois, no where on my site do I ask for a credit card. All of my patterns are free to follow here on my website. Yes there are ads, however this is how I receive compensation for the pattern that I am offering for free (an ad company pays me so that you don’t have to). I do offer an ad free PDF which may be purchased however it is not necessary to make the design. My PDFs are only available in my Etsy and Ravelry shops. Not on ebay – if you happen to find them there please let me know as they are being sold without permission! Thank you!
