This Little Piggy Went To Market

This Little Piggy Went to Market is the perfect quick-knit project that utilizes just one skein of your favorite yarn. This cleverly designed market bag features an attached pouch that serves a dual purpose; it not only neatly contains the bag when not in use, but it also transforms into a hidden pouch inside the market bag when fully opened.

Crafted seamlessly from the bottom up, This Little Piggy Goes to Market is an ideal solution for your grocery runs and everyday errands. This market bag is not just functional; it's also stylish, making it easy to keep on hand in your purse or car. Plus, it’s a delightful way to present gifts—fill it with wine, flowers, or any thoughtful surprise for that special someone!

MEASUREMENTS: The pouch measures 5 inches (12.5 centimeters) wide and 5.5 inches (13 centimeters) high when closed with the bag tucked inside. When fully opened, the bag measures an impressive 17 inches (43 centimeters) long and 6 inches (15 centimeters) wide, measured un-stretched.

The stitch pattern used in this project creates a beautiful mesh fabric that offers excellent stretch. It’s crucial to keep this in mind when selecting your yarn. If you opt for a fiber that is known to stretch—such as acrylic or bamboo—you may want to shorten the handles slightly for a better fit. Always let your gauge swatch guide your decisions to ensure the best results.

This Little Piggy Went to Market is not only a practical addition to your knitting repertoire but also an eco-friendly alternative to plastic bags. Dive into this fun and engaging knitting project, and enjoy the satisfaction of making something beautiful and useful. Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting, this pattern is versatile enough to suit all skill levels!
