If you want a quick and satisfying summer crochet project, try the free granny stripe market bag pattern from 5 Little Monsters. This bag combines the charm of the traditional granny stitch with the practicality of a market tote.
You’ll start with a base of double crochet stitches worked in the round for a solid foundation. The body features the airy yet secure granny stitch – perfect for carrying groceries, beach gear, or everyday essentials without anything slipping through. The top edge and straps are finished with single crochet stitches for added strength and durability. Using cotton yarn is highly recommended to keep your bag strong, washable, and eco-friendly. Measuring about 12 inches across and 12 inches tall (without handles), it’s the perfect grab-and-go size. Fun to make, stylish to carry, and endlessly useful – this market bag is a summer crochet must-make!
