Colorful Granny Square Market Bag

Materials:

Worsted weight cotton yarn in various colors (about 100 yards for each color used)
Natural cotton yarn for the main bag (about 200 yards)
H (5.0 mm) crochet hook
Scissors
Tapestry needle for weaving in ends

Gauge:

For Granny Squares: 4" x 4" = 10 rows x 10 stitches in double crochet. Measure by making a 5" square, then relax and lay it flat to count stitches per inch.

Abbreviations:

ch = chain
dc = double crochet
sl st = slip stitch
sp = space
rnd = round

Instructions:

Granny Squares:

With color 1, make a magic ring (or ch 4 and join). Rnd 1: Ch 3 (counts as first dc), 2 dc in ring, *ch 2, 3 dc in ring; repeat from * two more times. Join with sl st to top of ch 3.
Rnd 2: Slip stitch to first ch-2 sp. Ch 3 (counts as first dc), 2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc in same sp. *3 dc in next ch-2 sp; repeat from * two more times. Join.
Rnd 3: Slip stitch to next ch-2 sp. Ch 3, 2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc in same sp. *3 dc in next ch-2 sp; repeat from * to end. Join. Fasten off. Make a total of 6 squares.

Assembling the Bag:

Join all squares together in a row, aligning the edges, using the main bag color yarn. Slip stitch through both squares in each corner.
Once joined, fold the row into a rectangle (about 15 inches wide), and join the two ends, creating the base of the bag.
To create the bag depth, chain 1 and sc around the top edge of the rectangle. Continue until you reach the desired height (about 10 inches).

Straps:

For each strap, chain 80. Sc in second chain from hook, then sc in each chain across. Fasten off.
Attach each strap to bag by slip stitching securely through the top edge, on either side.

Finishing:

Weave in all ends carefully using a tapestry needle. For a polished look, consider blocking your bag by dampening it slightly and laying it flat to dry. This will help the squares lay flat and enhance the colors.

Optional Variations:

Try using different yarn types for a textured look or add embellishments like tassels to your straps!
