#418 Crochet Market Bag
Just in time for spring farmers markets! This is a pattern I worked up for the Hemp for Knitting yarn company. It’s a crochet mesh string bag with a base that doubles as a pouch, so you can tuck the sides and straps in and toss the bag into a backpack, glove box, etc. until you need it. The yarn is Hemp for Knitting allhemp3, a fingering-weight mercerized 100% hemp yarn that is lightweight, strong, and machine washable.
Hemp for Knitting is offering the pattern on their site as the #418 Crochet Market Bag, $5.50 USD; their photos show the sample they did in Foggy and Raspberry allhemp3. You can find HFK allhemp3 in 21 different colors at Kpixie.com.
I did my pattern sample in Sprout Green and Sapphire Blue:
I’m sharing the distribution rights with Hemp for Knitting and retaining the copyright, so I plan to work up another sample for photos and format my version of the pattern for sale as a PDF later this year.

Lorraine, I don’t have a printed catalog. You can see information about patterns I’ve written in the left-hand sidebar. If you are interested in a catalog from Hemp For Knitting, you can purchase one online at http://www.lanaknits.com/usasamples.html

Do you need to crochet two bases to make the “pouch”? I just started this project and it doesn’t say to make two bases. I have finished one base and the next step is to join sides together. I’m lost.

Yes, you make 2 pieces for the pouch. Sorry about the confusion – I’ll contact HFK to make sure it’s in the pattern.
