Crochet Foldable Fruit Market Bag Tutorial

Today, I have for you a very convenient project! This crocheted market bag can neatly fold into itself for whenever you don't need it. Full disclosure, this is not my original idea! The foldable market bag has been around for a long time, but I've recently been seeing fruit-themed pouches for it! I thought it was really cute, so maybe you will too! I hope you enjoy!

Materials:
Red Heart Super Saver Yarn in "Cafe Latte" and "Black"
Red Heart Super Saver Ombre Yarn in "Green Apple"
Weight: Medium (4)
Fiber: 100% Acrylic
Approximate total weight: 2.33 oz / 66g

5.5 mm Clover Amour Crochet Hook: https://amzn.to/3noE9mz
Yarn Needle: https://amzn.to/3CuwV8A
Scissors: https://amzn.to/43G61Xb

Dimensions:
Base - 13cm diameter
Netting - 16cm wide x 22cm tall
Strap - 22cm long

Gauge:
12 sc - 15 rows = 4 in / 10 cm (according to label)

Project Level:
This is a fun project for all crocheting skill levels! I also teach it without a magic ring, which I've noticed is sometimes really difficult for beginners!

Stitches:
Slip Knot (sk)
Chain (ch)
Slip Stitch (sl st)
Double Crochet (dc)
Single crochet (sc)

Tips:
Tighten your slip stitches to make the seam smaller and less visible
The chain 2 or 1 at the beginning of each round does NOT count as a double or single crochet
Weave your loose ends in before you sew on the pocket or it'll be harder

Send me a picture of your finished market bag on Instagram @viv.crochets! I’d love to see it!

Thanks for watching!
