I'm at round 5 and I am LOVING this! Thank you for the quick and concise tutorial!! ❤

Omg Bobby pin stitch markers are GENIUS!!!!

6:21 - stamping this for myself thank you so so much for this tutorial, you make everyone so easy to understand, ive been struggling for a while on crochet and this video helped me actually make something im proud of!!

Just made this bag and I LOVE it. Going to make so many more. I love bags. Thank you for this tutorial.

I'm a Newby, and your video for this market bag is great! I've made 3 so far, everyone wants one!

Started this bag tonight! Thank you for the clear instructions. I'm excited to see how mine turns out.

Thanks for this tutorial, I started mine 1.5 days ago using Bernat handcrafter cotton yarn gauge #4 , size 5mm hook. It's a fun and easy project to do. I'm now doing the handles and I'm so excited to finish this bag so I can start using it. We don't use plastic bags like many others out there ,this will be a nice addition to our reusable bags. I'll be making more to gift to family and friends. Thanks again for sharing 😊

I’ve started this bag for our daughter’s birthday this coming August. Plan to make this size bag, a smaller and larger one. Am excited to see the results. Thanks so much for the clear and easy to follow instructions. Of course I had to rewind a bit to make sure I got the instructions correct (I wrote them down to have for later projects). Thank You, Thank You, Thank You ❤❤❤

You're a good instructor. You don't give more info than necessary. That makes it easier to understand. I've been crocheting for years but there's always lots more to learn. Thank you.

I started this bag last night. I’m fairly new at crocheting: have been making scarves and beanies for a while. It’s market season in Denver and I’m sooo excited to make something that I can get a lot of use out of! 😁 I already know I’m going to make one of these in every color!! THANK YOU for this video. It’s one of the most concise and easy bags I’ve looked into making!! 💙💙

I just finished mine. The directions were perfect.

Thanks for a great tutorial! You made it very clear and easy to follow. I made this bag for my sister and am giving to her tomorrow.

This is so easy to follow-and I don’t really crochet! The base and the netting were exactly what I needed to make hanging sacks for the ripening cantaloupes vining up my fence. I used a heavier cotton (Sugar and Spice), single strand, and arbitrarily stopped at the netting so I could thread some other string through the loops and attach to the fence. Thank you! By the way, your magic loop is really cool!

Not a crocheter but after watching this tutorial I soon will be….what a wonderful demonstrator you are….you made this look so simple, uncomplicated and such clear and precise instructions…congratulations.

I am so extremely satisfied with this pattern im almost done making it I only have one more handle to go thank you so much for sharing you’re the best I’ll be making a few more for sure

Thank you for this tutorial! I’m an absolute beginner and it helped me a lot. Love the bag I was able to make by following along 💓

So far I've made 3 of these. I love them and gave 2 as gifts and kept one for me. I use mine for library books/DVDs. Thank you so much for this easy to follow instructional video!

Thank you for your expertise on making this grocery bag it is very pretty you are a very good teacher, and it is very nicely done! 🙏💜

Love how easy you made this. Thank you!

wonderful tutorial!! For anyone wondering how much yarn I used , I used 3 small skeins of 100% gauge 4 cotton warn- 360 yards/7.5 oz with the appropriate hook size. I did make my bag a tad bit taller (a couple more rounds of the mesh body portion) and added for a total of 7 rounds at the top band. I'll definitely be making this project again, but with homemade plarn the next go around! Great beginner project and a now wonderful everyday bag!

I just finished my first bag. It came out perfect!!❤❤

Just a well thought out video with easy to follow instructions. Thank you

Nice little pattern but I did change up things a bit. Since I have been doing cotton dishcloths/vase bottoms in a round pattern with half double crochet I did the bottom with those using a 5.5mm hook. Worked up to row nine. Eighteen rows the mesh, need shorter bags. Two rows of single crochet for the top edging, then two rows of decreases, I like the tops of my bags to narrow. I do plan on different handles because of my shoulder problems. I am also going to figure out an edging on the outside of the bag around the last circular bottom. When this tutorial popped up I thought this is perfect for all the leftover bits, different sizes, of cotton from my dishcloths I gathered the leftovers and just grabbed them, worked each end grabbing another and working till the bag was 5he size I wanted. I now have a very colorful bag. Thanks for the inspiration of what to use my leftovers for. I will have more and save them for other bags. To those who might think of a scrap yarn bag, beware all the extra strings to hide. I do not try to hide as I go. Thanks again,

Oh, this looks delightful ♡ Thank you, Mei!!

Thank you for giving such a clear and easy tutorial!! I just made my first one and I'm completely in love !!

This type of bag usually take ages to make and can be impractical because of the large holes but because of the base it is more practical and a lot quicker I love this pattern and supper easy pattern to follow

So far so good. Making these as gifts and I'm pleased with how smoothly things have gone so far. Hopefully I don't mess up the netting as I feel that's where the pattern is gonna get me lol

This is so relaxing, and I'm learning 🥰

i just finished mine and i love it so much!!!!! the tutorial was so awesome and easy to follow along! so happy with the finished product !!!! 🎉

LOVE THIS ❤️ I'm making a few of these for Christmas gift this year (2022) 🎄🎁🧶 Also, already made tiny versions of this to be used as waterbottle holders/carriers (bottom has only 3 rows + longer single handle). Great for hiking, walking, shopping around town 😁 One question though: why cut & tie off when you finish the bag part? Why not just start the handle from that last stitch? 🤔

I don't know many things to make with crocheting. I am using this pattern to venture out. Thank you for recording and posting this video.

Absolutely loved making this, such a sturdy design. Onto my second as making these now for friends. Thanks for the clear instructions.

Love the size of the bag I did my handles a little different/easier method but turned out great Thanks 🙏🏻

Thank you for the pattern of the bag.. I Just finished... It looks super cool.. Thank you for the instructions..

Thanks for the easy tutorial. I just finished one bag turned out perfect.

Just made this bag for a friend’s bridal shower! She’s a farmers market girlie. I did the base, rim, and handles in a neutral-pink (pumpkin pie pound of love yarn), and the netting in an off white color (also pound of love yarn). My yarn was slightly bigger, so I just adjusted the stitch and chain counts to match what I wanted. It looks so cute and is very easy.

Easy instructions love it!

Just finished this…sort of. I have a horrible memory so I ended up making 9 increase rows on the bottom instead of 7. Then I followed the pattern for 3 rows, got bored and started to do my own thing. Ended up utilizing the top as it is in this pattern and made the handles the same way as well. Turned out wonderful! I’ll be making my bestie a bag following this pattern correctly next. Thanks for this video!

I LOVE these market bags you do. I work in the round easier - but love the built in handle of the rectangle bag from other video. I'm trying to splice them on my own but it's not working. I'm sure I'll get it.

Thank you so much! This was my first "big" project and it came out beautiful, I even surface crocheted a different color into the border. The only thing is I wish I did less rows of the chain 5, as it droops alot when it's filled. Other than that it's great

Thanks for posting! I was almost finished with this project (and feeling like the bag was a bit big for me) when I read your comment. Realized I did want mine to be smaller. Frogged about 1/3 of the chain netting rows. I think I'll be much happier with this size. Worth the re-do, for me. Thanks again!

This is such a great tutorial! nice pace and good images of what you are doing , very easy to follow! Thank you !

I used mercerized lace yarn (or iris yarn), and it turned out great! Took a lot of time but it was worth it. Thanks for the tutorial! ♥

I like that this bag has a solid bottom unlike others I looked at - Just found your site and am excited to see what else I can make

Love it. Made one with some spare yarn and it's beautiful. Thank you for your tutorial
