How Has this Mesh Market Bag Been Crocheted? My Review

This market bag will be crocheted from bottom to top using the chain spaces and taller stitch (double crochet). It means you will start with a flat base, which, due to decreasing stitches, will become a little like a basket.

Then, you will work around this bottom till you get the right height. There will be non-sew straps that are again crocheted with long chain rows and skipping a few stitches. Overall, this bag is repetitive and perfect for beginners. It was my review of this bag.
