Spring - knitting up market bags

Hey there, I've been working on some market bag designs over the past week - and I have drafted up the patterns - I will share once I've finalised.

For now here are some progress pics and a couple of pics of finished bags. They hold quite a bit and are very strong...

Basic design is with rectangle in open lace pattern on large needles. Once that is completed, then 2 handles are knitted. Sew together and sew ends in and bag is ready for use!

The blue one is the first I completed. A little bit too big - very stretchy construction.

 Step one - knit the rectangular shape

 Sewing the side seams

 Again sewing side seams

 finished product. Again will be quite stretchy due to the pattern used - open lacework on large needles. 

I will pop back and share a link to the pattern once complete. 

Thank you for stopping by. :)
