The Rosemary Market Bag Crochet Pattern features rounds of texture that are created by front and back post double crochet stitches.

The Rosemary Market Bag is worked from the bottom up, just like the other market bags in the Marvellous Market Bag Crochet Along (This is week two!).  It is also worked all as one piece, even into the continuous handles.  The stitch pattern is fairly easy to work using single and double crochet stitches and front and back post double crochet stitches.

The Materials:

I have worked the bag using two different colours of a worsted weight 100% cotton yarn.  I invite you to switch up the colours as you are inspired.  In the video tutorial below you will also see me using a 5mm Birchwood Crochet Hook by Rowan Yarns.
