The inspiration for this Market Bag came from the (now defunct) Ravelry Designer’s Challenge with the theme of “spring awakening”.

The bag starts with a pinhole cast on. Increases are worked into a leaf lace pattern to form the base of the bag. The leaf lace transitions to a lace mesh, and finishes with a garter stitch edging. A twisted cord allows for easy carrying and helps to keep the bag tied shut!

The sample was knit in FibraNatura Good Earth Solids, a worsted/aran blend of 53% cotton and 47% flax. Sadly, this yarn has since been discontinued, I would suggest a cotton/flax blend such as *Rowan Creative Linen.

You can buy the pattern through Etsy,  in my Web Shop, or, on my Patreon Shop, the discount is available on all platforms for the month of June! (Psst, Featured Pattern Subscribers and above on Patreon can just download the pattern for free from the Patreon Shop!)
