The ‘Spencer’ easy crochet market bag is the perfect beachy tote is perfect for Summer thanks to its roomy interior and interchangeable fabric straps.
Not only is it great for a trip to the beach or stroll around the market but this lightweight bag is a fun and beautiful Spring or Summer project.
Firstly, Kimberley has designed this pattern with beginners in mind and the pattern uses only one stitch – the single crochet. Additionally, the pattern also includes step by step pictures, and a video tutorial. Also, the fabric straps are easy to put together and don’t even need sewing if you’re not that way inclined as the weight falls on the knots there’s no tension on the seam. The straps are definitely the star of the show and can be interchanged so you can swap out the straps (if you want to make extra) for a completely different look.
Color suggestions:
The recommended yarn is Lion Brand’s Rewind Tape in “Greige” which gives it the quintessential Summer look and is the perfect neural backdrop to the fun fabric handles. Kimberley also suggests making the bag in ‘Marble’ (light blue) with white + grey gingham straps OR the bright yellow (called ‘Make Lemonade’) with some type of navy nautical material.
