Slouchy Market Bag

Discover this delightful 3-row grand eyelet lace pattern that transforms your knitting experience into a breezy journey! This airy and roomy bag is ideal for carrying your essentials while adding a touch of elegance to your look. The lace pattern is effortlessly created using a single strand of our high-quality jute-cotton yarn, ensuring durability and style. To master the intricacies of the lace design, you'll be using a larger needle—three sizes up—during the 3rd round of the pattern.

The base, as well as the garter border at the top, and the handles of the bag are intricately worked with the yarn held double for added strength and structure. To allow for the perfect fitting and customization, the handles are knitted separately and expertly sewn onto the bag, giving you the flexibility to adjust their placement as desired.

For your convenience, you can find the premium jute-cotton yarn needed for this project available for purchase at my Etsy store—KnitVaana. These sustainable yarns not only look fabulous but also support eco-friendly practices.
