A crochet bag is one of the most satisfying things to make. It grows fast, it does not need to fit anyone, and you will use it every week.
For a first bag, try the easy 2-skein market bag. It is an open mesh worked in the round with sturdy handles, and most people finish it in an evening or two. If you would rather browse, the 12 free crochet bag patterns roundup groups totes, market bags and small pouches by type, notes the difficulty, and links to each designer’s original pattern.
For bags, cotton is your friend. It is strong, it does not stretch out of shape when the bag is full, and it washes well. If you have not crocheted in the round before, read the beginner guide first. It makes the first few rounds much less confusing.
