With a dense circle of single crochet stitches for the bottom and linked stitches for the sides, this market bag is extra strong. Fill it full of groceries, or use it as a sturdy beach tote. When it needs laundering, simply untie the strap and slide the beads off.

This pattern is included in the stitch dictionary. Although the pattern itself is not charted, the stitches used in the bag are charted separately in the book.
