Knit your own Crossed Loop Market Bag using these clearly-written instructions by knitwear designer Jackie E-S of HeartStrings FiberArts.

Make a colorful string bag for your next shopping trip. Crossed Loop Market Bag is a great bag to take to the beach or poolside, too!

This bag scrunches down to next to nothing until needed; then expands to accommodate more fiber stash purchases or whatever! The knitting goes quickly because the main pattern stitch is an elongated twisted stitch 2-rows high.
