I’ve recently become obsessed with this new crochet farmer’s market bag pattern that I stumbled across. So much in fact that I’ve made many for my daughters and my mother. I like that it’s a repetitive stitch that I can utilize while sitting and watching television and that the handle portion is well thought out – something I find isn’t so on many reusable grocery bag patterns.
We had a family farmer’s market day a couple of weeks ago – both my daughters and their husbands, my husband, and my parents joined me in downtown OKC at Scissortail Park for a bit of shopping followed by brunch. I was really disappointed that I hadn’t thought at the time to make them these bags, but they do at least have them now.
With the endless color options available, this one pattern can go a long way in making gifts for friends and family and even for market events.

How to Choose a Yarn for Farmer’s Market Bags
For this bag, I ended up using a mercerized cotton from ILTY. Typically, when making farmers market bags, I prefer a cotton with a little more structure like a dishe cotton. They aren’t as smooth to work with as a mercerized cotton but they are sturdy and durable – here are some of my favorites:
When Farmer’s Market Season is over, the cotton washes up nicely until next season – or they work great for groceries, dance bags, diaper bags, and can be easily reused.
