Southport Market Bag

Welcome to week three of the 2025 Marvellous Market Bag Crochet Along! You will love making the Southport Market Bag. The Southport Market Bag crochet pattern is a fairly easy one to work. The bag consists of rounds of half double crochet two together stitches and rounds of paired double crochet stitches. Like the other market bags in this year's crochet along, this bag has an oval shaped bottom and is worked from the bottom up. The half double crochet two together stitches create fun ridges of texture around the bag and it's a fairly quick one to work. This crochet pattern is available in English only and written in American crochet terms.
