Wave Market Bag

"When life gives you lemons… first you make fancy market bags, then you take those lemons home and make lemonade, am I right? This Wave Market Bag crochet pattern is perfect for carrying all those lemons – and whatever other produce suits your fancy. For this one I decided to use Patons new Hempster yarn. It's a 55% hemp 45% cotton blend. There are a plethora of gorgeous colorways, and this yarn was very nice to work with. "

NotesYou could substitute regular cotton if needed, but note that the Hempster is labeled as a 3 (lightweight) so if you use a 100% cotton that is a size 4/worsted weight, your bag will come out larger and you may need to go up a hook size for the fabric not to be too stiff.
