What You Need to Make a Crochet Market Bag Pattern!
Crochet tote bag patterns are usually pretty straight forward. You don’t need a ton of yarn or a lot of tools to create one. But it’s good to be prepared with the basics!
- Crochet hooks – You’ll need crochet hooks in order to finish your crochet tote bag pattern. Crochet hooks come in different sizes, so make sure to check your crochet bag pattern’s list of materials! Recommended hook sizes can also be found on your yarn’s label.
- Yarn – Crochet tote bag patterns often have their own yarn suggestions, so make sure to check those out too in the “recommended yarn” section! Pay attention to the yarn weight and suggested fiber type if you’re going to choose a different yarn than what the designer recommends.
- Scissors – A pair of scissors is another important tool that you will use for all of your knitting projects. You’ll need them to cut yarn tails and hide loose ends.
- Stitch markers – You might need stitch markers to keep track of which round you’re on. For crochet, make sure you’re using stitch markers that can open and close, also called “locking stitch markers.” If you don’t have stitch markers, use a strand of scrap yarn or a thin paper clip—preferably in a bright color so it’s easy to see.
- Yarn/darning needle – You will need a yarn needle or darning needle to sew in the loose yarn ends.
- Crochet bag pattern – Be sure to have your favorite crochet bag pattern ready to go too!
