Most of the bags begin with a solid base for the bottom of the bag. Once the bottom is completed, you begin working the body of the bag. Others use different kinds of construction so be sure to follow the instructions for the bag you choose.

Uses for Crochet Market Bags

You can use your market bag in several ways:

  • Bring your own market bags on your next trip to the grocery store or the local farmer’s market
  • Use them as tote bags for your essentials for a trip to the beach or a picnic
  • Add a fabric lining and use them as a project bag to store your next crochet project
  • Use them as gift bags for presents for special friends and family any time of year
  • Carry sand toys to the park for a play date

Yarn and Crochet Supplies

Cotton yarn is a great choice for market bags. It’s durable and can be easily washed.

Most of these bag patterns use either worsted weight or Dk weight yarn in 100% cotton. Some great choices for 100% worsted weight cotton yarns include: Lion Brand 24/7 cotton, KnitPicks/WeCrochet Dishie, and Lily Sugar ‘N Cream.

In addition to cotton yarn, some of these bags use sturdy acrylic yarns. You’ll find information about the suggested yarn under each pattern.

Be sure to pick a sturdy yarn that won’t tear easily. And you’ll probably want a washable and dryable yarn. That way you’ll be able to launder your finished bags easily.

You’ll also need an appropriate hook for your yarn, scissors, a tapestry needle, and a stitch marker or two.

How many yards of yarn do I need to crochet a market bag? ›

How Much Yarn Do You Need to Crochet a Market Bag? You will need approx. 400 yards of 100% Cotton yarn for this easy crochet market bag. I used Dishie Yarn and they are 190 yards each.

How many plastic bags are needed to crochet a bag? ›

If your material tends to break or tear, rather than stretch, the plastic is probably too brittle and not suitable for crocheting. You will need 2 to 3 dozen plastic grocery sacks to make the market bag.

What is the least wasteful crochet stitch? ›

Basic stitches like double crochet or treble crochet tend to use less yarn and produce much taller stitches than the slip stitch and single crochet stitches. Lacy stitches, such as the Solomon's Knot, can use the least amount of yarn to create an open and airy fabric with wide spacing between stitches.

What is the strongest stitch for bags? ›

Back Stitch – Use a short needle. It is the strongest hand stitch and is used to imitate machine stitches. Work backstitch from right to left.

What yarn is best for crochet bags? ›

You can use any type of yarn suitable for bags, but we recommend using cotton or acrylic yarn as they are durable and easy to care for. To get started on this project, choose at least two contrasting colors of yarn that complement each other well.

What is the best weight yarn for a market bag? ›

The most popular yarn weights for bags in general are #3 Light / DK weight and above. This is because they will keep their shape better than a lighter weight of yarn, depending on the stitch you use as well of course.

How many skeins of yarn for a bag? ›

To figure out how many skeins you need for your bag design, you'll need to divide the approximate grams of your finished bag by the grams of one skein of yarn. Using my calculations as an example: 940 ÷ 85 = 11.0588235294 or 11 skeins. Of course, this is a rough estimate, but our calculations should be close.

What is the best material to make a crochet bag? ›

And if you want a crochet bag that is sturdy enough to hold books, or groceries, the best materials are linen or cotton yarns that won't stretch too much. You'll want to crochet a fairly tight fabric, not one with lots of open spaces.

Should you block a crochet bag? ›

A: The short list of benefits is getting rid of any curling, improving the drape, evening out the stitches, making the fabric softer, shaping pieces before seaming. One big reason to block your crochet pieces is because you need to shape them before seaming them together.

What crochet hook to use for a bag? ›

Use a hook size smaller than you normally would with your yarn. I usually use a 5 mm hook with 8 ply cotton, but when making bags, I use a 4 mm. It gives a denser, less lacy, sturdier fabric.
