Mesh Market Bag Pattern

[GoddessCrochet]

Howdy all!

I'd like to share my latest pattern with you. It's a simple mesh market bag, good for carrying a multitude of items. I often use mine to carry books to/from the library. Please let me know if you find any errors. Enjoy!

Nice.  What size hook and material did you use? 

[GoddessCrochet]

Hi GrannyB!

 

I used an "H" hook, and WW cotton yarn. Lily sugar and cream I believe.

Hi, I'm lost---ok, chain 41, I got that---after you sc in next 38 then 3 sc in last ch, you are at the end of the 1st row, do you turn then work in the back of the ch ???? Some how I got lost, tried 3 times to figure this out. This is not a round, or is it? Or is this a flat or square? Please get me on the right track!!!!  Thanks

Hello,

This bag is worked in one piece in the round from the bottom up.

After your 3 SC in the last CH you will be working around the other side into the back of the CH. Think of it as making a long skinny oval shape.

Hope that helps!

Ok, thanks I'm on my way now!!!!
