Market Mesh Bag by Pukado
You can make this with any yarn and any hook size. The chunkier your yarn, the bigger the bag.
I used for the big bag:
Bakers Twine in different colors and hook size 5mm
For the small bags:
Phildar Phil Coton No3 and hook size 3 - 3.5 mm
Work in the space between stitches, unless specified other.
R1, Magic Circle, CH3 (counts as your first DC and CH1, will be written as normal DC, CH1 in the rest of the pattern), *DC, CH1* repeat 5 more times - 12st, 6DC
R2, *DC, CH1, DC, CH1* in each CH1Space
R3, *(DC, CH1, DC, CH1) in CH1Space, (DC, CH1) in next CH1Space* repeat around
R4, *(DC, CH1, DC, CH1) in CH1Space, (DC, CH1) in next 2 CH1Spaces* repeat around
Change color
R5, *(DC, CH1, DC, CH1) in CH1Space, (DC, CH1) in next 3 CH1Spaces* repeat around
R6, *(DC, CH1, DC, CH1) in CH1Space, (DC, CH1) in next 4 CH1Spaces* repeat around
Add more increase rows if you want your bag to be bigger.
Change color
R7, CH2, DC in next CH1Space, *HalfDC in same CH1Space (keep 2 loops on hook), DC in next CH1SPace, CH1* repeat all around
Change color every row from now on
R8, *SC, CH5* in each CH1Space
R9, *SC, CH5* in each CH5Space (add row to make bag longer if prefered)
R10, *SC, CH4* in each CH5Space
R11, *SC, CH4* in each CH4Space (add row to make bag longer if prefered)
R12, *SC, CH3* in each CH4Space
R13, *SC, CH3* in each CH3Space (add row to make bag longer if prefered)
R14, *2DC, CH1* in each CH3Space
Add more rows if you prefer bag to be longer
R15, 2DC in each CH1Space
If you would like the opening wide at the top, continue with R19, be sure to repeat R19 3 more time to keep the length of the bag.
R16 *2HDC in between next 3 DCclusters, HDC in between next* repeat around
If you would like the opening wide at the top, continue with R19, be sure to repeat R19 2 more time to keep the length of the bag.
R17 *2HDC in between next 2 HDCclusters, HDC in between next 2* repeat around
If you would like the opening wide at the top, continue with R19, be sure to repeat R19 1 more time to keep the length of the bag. As in the photo
R18 *2HDC in between next HDCclusters, HDC in between next 3* repeat around
R19 HDC in each st around
R20, DC in each space around
R21, HDC in each space around
R22, SC in each space around
R23-R24, HDC in each st around
R25, Count your stitches, divide by 4.
For example, the blue bag I have 55 stitches at R24, as 55 can’t be divided by 4, I add a stitch and make it 56 = divided by 4 is 14.
For the color bag, I had 45 stitches, I removed a stitch at R24 to make it 44 = divided by 4 is 11.
For the bakers twine bag I had 40 stitches = divided by 4 is 10.
For the handles I add half of a quarter of the stitches to the handle Chain.
HDC in next 14 st, CH21, skip 14st, HDC in next 14st, CH21, skip 14st, SLST to first HDC.
HDC in next 11st, CH16, skips 11st, HDC in next 11st, CH16, skip 11st, SLST to first HDC
HDC in next 10st, CH15, skip 10st, HDC in next 10st, CH15, skip 10st, SLST to first HDC
R26, SC in next 14st, 21SC around chain, SC in next 14 st, 21SC around chain
R27, SC in next 14st, 21SC around chain, SC in next 14 st, 21SC around chain, join with invisible join.
weave in ends, your bag is finished.
