You have to love a Market day where you stroll around the stalls whilst collecting (hopefully) farm fresh produce. I can even feel the sun on my face as I imagine the bustle of the stalls and walkways. Here is the free crochet pattern for this open weaved market or shopping bag.
Why should you make your own shopping bags or totes? Plastic bags are from the same source as all plastic: crude oil. So what is wrong with crude oil?
The manufacturing process emits considerable amounts of pollution, and the product is not biodegradable. On land, plastic bags are one of the most common types of litter worldwide.
As plastic bags are lightweight and float easily, this means they can travel long distances when picked up by the wind this includes landing in the ocean. Then wildlife gets tangled or ingests the bags, both in the sea and on land.
Make a difference and make your own shopping grocery bags. Have plastic bags you need to re-use? Consider making these DIY upcycled plastic bag crafts.

Where is the pattern? This is so unfair. I will be sending a text to Pinterest about false claims.
Pat, did you follow the link at the bottom of the article? The free pattern is clearly there.
The pattern is definitely there. A tutorial would be wonderful for beginners! I love this bag!
