Heat Wave Market Bag Crochet Pattern
I love a good tote! I think that this pattern will be something that will help use up your extra yarn and I’m sure you’ll have many requests for more! I used this pattern as a crochet-a-long years ago and everyone had a blast making theirs! I loved seeing the varying colors that popped up and how they all turned out! I made my tote in a cotton, but feel free to use an acrylic (or any yarn, really) but something that can wash well after taking it to the market!
