For this bag, I used Lily Sugar ‘n Cream cotton. It’s a nice and sturdy cotton so it minimizes the amount of stretchiness in the straps. Another great cotton yarn to use it Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton.

  1. Hi, could you tell me how many yards of the Lily Sugar ‘n Cream yarn you used please. I’m buying it in Ireland and we don’t seem to have skeins!
    I’ve followed your crochet along hat patterns for a few years. They are always so clear. Going to give this market bag a go. Thank you. Susan

          1. I have been trying for a while now to make this bag, the only thing I’m struggling with is the bottom, it always looks so off, it starts ok but then where the turn is, it starts to go off to one side and not stay in the middle… is this normal? Or how can I fix this!

  2. I’m going to make this bag, but I don’t have a 4.5 mm hook. Would you recommend a 4 or a 5 instead? I know it will change size and yarn requirements a bit.
