This Market Bag is expertly knit from the bottom-up in the round, allowing for a seamless one-piece design that eliminates uncomfortable seams. The strap is ingeniously crafted from one side and can be easily attached using your preferred seaming method to the opposite side, ensuring a secure and stylish finish.
The pattern incorporates a variety of knitting techniques, making it an excellent project for those familiar with basic stitches, including knit, purl, M1R (make one right), yarn over (yo), k2tog (knit two together), and SSK (slip slip knit). Whether you're a beginner or an experienced knitter looking for a new challenge, this pattern is perfect for enhancing your skills.
