Hexagon Market Bag – Quick And Easy Crochet Pattern

"This easy market bag is worked with basic crochet stitches to create a quick hexagon design that you’ll love to use! The Hexagon Market Bag is worked using chain, single and double crochet stitches in joined rounds. You’ll create two hexagon motifs, joining the 2nd to the 1st one created, then add the purse handle last. You’ll join the two motifs together with a Join-As-You-Go (JAYGO) method that is easily done by replacing a chain space with a slip stitch to the joining side. If you’ve never worked this before, just follow our quick and easy video tutorial! The Hexagon Market Bag is a great pattern because: This one pattern creates the perfect size market bag that comfortably fits under the arm! Each motif is created separately, so you can get creative with the colors you use to create two different looks with one bag! Tote bags are quick and easy projects to work up! Use up yarn you already have in your stash (this is a perfect stash-buster) This project works great with cotton yarns, and plant-based fibers! But you can easily use other yarn types if you prefer. You’ll get to practice a lot of crochet skills: joined rounds, stitch tension, gauge & size, front and back post stitches, finishing techniques & more! "
