The Promenade Market Bag is an easy crochet pattern. It is also fun and quick to work using basic stitches!
It’s hard to believe that the final week for the Marvellous Market Bag crochet along is here! Time has flown by and I hope that you have had as much fun making these bags as I had designing them!

The Design:
Similar to the other market bags in the collection, this bag is worked as one piece from the bottom up. I have worked it in a 100% worsted weight cotton which I find best to use when making crochet market bags. The design features rows of chain stitches and single crochet stitches. So it’s very easy to work!
Materials for this Tutorial:
For this tutorial today I will be using some Pima Cotton Yarn by Lion Brand Yarn in one colour shown in Mineral Yellow. You may wish to add more! I will give you the colour details and amounts with the written pattern below. It is a worsted weight 100% cotton yarn. I highly recommend using cotton for your market bags. It is easy to wash and hold up well to wear and tear! The hook shown in the video below is a 5 mm birchwood crochet hook by Rowan Yarns. However you may use any hook and yarn combination you choose.
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.
