Don’t miss out on this great free pattern for the Journey Bag, a stylish and functional farmer’s market bag. This project from Cactus and Lace Designs uses a mix of treble crochet, half double crochet, and chain stitches to create a lacy, mesh-like texture. Because of the open Victorian stitch variation, the bag works up in just a few hours. It starts with a sturdy circular base worked in the round, making it strong enough for trips to the grocery store, beach, or park.
The finished bag measures about 15.5 inches wide by 18 inches tall when flat. Using a durable fiber like cotton or nylon is recommended to ensure the bag keeps its shape when full. This is a perfect DIY project for beginners who want to practice new stitches while making a practical accessory that looks like a high-end boutique find.
