Circle-ish Market Bag Crochet Pattern

The Circle-ish Market Bag Crochet Pattern is made from a simple rectangle! This surprisingly simple market bag is large and sturdy enough to carry all your summer things.

I used one of my favorite cotton yarns, Paintbox Cotton. It’s a worsted weight cotton yarn that is so soft and comes in tons of colors. Any worsted weight cotton would be great. I think you could even use acrylic yarn just fine.
