This practical market bag is perfect for a quick trip to the grocery, or for toting along your current knitting project! Knit with two colors of Queensland Cairns, a sturdy cotton/acrylic blend – the unique two-colored chain construction yields fabulous, colorful results! Starting with a square bottom knit flat, stitches are picked up along all edges to knit the body of the bag in the round. The basketweave pattern is created with a slip-stitch mosaic stitch, and the top edge and handles are double thick for a professional, finished edge. Pattern is suitable for knitters that are comfortable knitting in the round, picking up stitches, and reading a pattern. 

The small bag requires 1 skein each of the main color and contrast color. The large bag needs 2 skeins of the main color and 1 skein for the contrast color. Colors are randomly chosen, because they all look good together! The kit includes a copy of the pattern. If you would like to have it added to your Ravelry library, just leave us your Ravelry user name in the order comments at checkout.
