Market Bags 'To Go'
I'm going to be making quite a few of these this month. I'm totally jazzed about it too!
I've got 3 great big skeins of Bernat Handicrafter Cotton, in beautiful Spring-time colors...just waiting to get my hook into them!
Mine are a little different.
I like my Market/Produce bags cinched at the top so my goodies don't roll out when I set it down.
So my bags have a drawstring type closure..nice and sturdy though, they will last a good long time with lot's of use.
I also make the pouch closure a little differently..I hate buttons. I have no idea why, except that they catch on stuff and they just 'bother' me.
So I made a long loop in the center of the pouch opening and designed it to loop around the flower decoration attached to the other side of the the pouch. Works like a charm!..
and pretty too :)
In order to avoid cutting thread/yarn and weaving in while you are in the middle of a net/mesh pattern, you need to start with a cone or large skein.
The first one I made, I used one of the regular small skeins of Lily Sugar n Cream and it took all of one plus part of another. So I do recommend that you start out with a large skein to begin with.
I have made note of all my changes to the pattern on my
Ravelry page. I'm considering writing it all up in a pdf for downloading...but for now, I've got to get hooking!
Rhondda Mol has four new patterns for us from Oombawka Design 
Jessie Anest Rayot, from Jessie At Home, has also just released this little gem, so I squeezed it in!
