Pacific Waves Market Bag

Still burning through my marmie's yarn stash! Here is a pattern using size 10 cotton crochet thread to create a handy little bag that can collapse into itself for easy storage.



Materials

* #10 cotton thread. I used Aunt Lydia's classic 10 in Fudge Brown (color 1) & Delft (color 2)
* E Hook
* button (optional)

Abbreviations

* ch : chain
* sl st : slip stitch
* beg : beginning
* sc : single crochet
* dc : double crochet
* hdc : half double crochet
* tr : treble
* y.o. : yarn over
* f.o. : finish off
* false sc2tog: insert hook into same st pull up a loop, insert hook into next st pull up a loop, y.o. draw through all three loops on hook

Notes


All terms American.   If pattern reads "sc, sc2tog, 2sc" it would be read as, " single crochet, single crochet 2 stitches together, 2 single crochet in the next stitch", directions are to be repeated to end of row/round unless otherwise noted.  As with any pattern, be sure to read through once before beginning, and don't forget to mark your rounds! (I use a bit of contrasting yarn) This is an original design by me, Anna Wilson 2016.



You may do whatever you like with your completed Pacific Waves Market Bag, you can sell them, shop with them or even give it as a gift!  I only ask that you please not claim this pattern as your own, I worked hard to design my Pacific Waves Market Bag :)
