Foldable Mushroom Market Bag

**Pattern Notes** The mushroom tote is worked in the round, and aside from the polka-dots, you will not need to do any sewing. The pattern begins with the stem and works up to the cap, then the reversible mesh bag is worked around the inside of the stem. Please follow all instructions carefully. Photo and written instructions are provided throughout the pattern to clarify the more tedious portions of construction. **Materials** Materials: Any worsted weight yarn in your desired shades of white and red (or whichever color you prefer for the mushroom cap) the featured tote uses Red Heart Super Saver in colorways White and Red Approximately 200 yards of white Approximately 50 yards of red Size US 8/5mm hook (H hook) Darning needle Scissors Stitch markers **Stitch Glossary (US)** magic circle MC: Main Color (red) CC: Contrasting Color (white) ch: chain st/sts: stitch/stitches sl st: slip stitch inc: increase prev: previous beg: beginning YO: yarn over sc: single crochet dc: double crochet tr: treble crochet sc2tog: single crochet 2 stitches together dc2tog: double crochet 2 stitches together FPsc: front post single crochet BPsc: back post single crochet BPdc: back post double crochet * *: repeat instructions inside asterisks as indicated in the pattern **Sizing** Pouch Approximately 8 inches tall by 8 inches wide Bag Approximately 2 feet from the handles to the bottom Approximately 14 inches wide when gently stretched
