Middleton Market Bag Crochet Pattern

Design Story
The Middleton Market Bag was designed last year along with two other crochet bags. The Middleton Bag Collection came about because I was at a loss for inspiration for summer wear. So, I visited the world of accessories. The Middleton Market Bag went through not 1, not 2, but 4 revisions. It was a learning experience and I enjoyed designing the perfect market mesh bag.
The Pattern
This crochet pattern is quick and beginner-friendly. It is constructed from the bottom-up starting with a magic circle and slowly making its way up with multiple chains.
Materials
Abbreviations
MR- magic ring
ch-chain
chsp-chain space
dc-double crochet
hdc-half double crochet
sc- single crochet
sc2tog-single crochet 2 together
slst-slip stitch
st-stitch
Gauge
10 sts and 8.5 rows is 4”.
Notes
The bag is worked in rounds. It is highly recommended that you use a stitch marker to mark the beginning of the round.
The chain 2 in the beginning counts of each round counts as a stitch.
Pattern
Create a Magic Ring
Round 1: ch 2, dc in the MR, *ch 2, 2dc cluster* repeat for a total of 4 times, ch2, slst at the top of the ch 2, turn your work (5 chsps)
Pull the MR closed.
Round 2: ch 2, 2dc in the next chsp, *dc in the next st, 3 dc in the next ch sp* repeat to the end ch sp, dc in the final st, slst into the top of the ch 2, turn your work (20)
Round 3: ch4 (counts as st and ch 2), 2dc in the next st, ch 2 and skip a st, *2dc in the next st, ch 2 and skip a st* dc in the last st, slst in the 2nd ch of the ch 4, turn your work
Round 4: ch 2, dc in the next st, 3dc in the next ch sp, *dc in the next 2 sts, 3dc in the next ch sp* repeat to the end, slst in the top of ch 2, turn your work (50)

From here we will work in continuous rounds. Mark your first chsp so you know what round you are on.

Row 22-26: sc around

Row 28: sc in the next 14 sts, sc across the ch 35, sc in the next 14 sts, sc across the ch 35

The Nautical Tote is a beautiful and simple bag that includes both knit and crochet. The body of this tote is knit while the handles are crocheted. The body includes some eyelet v-stitches to make it stand out a little from just a plain colorblock tote.
Pattern
Materials
-5.0mm knitting needles-4.5mm crochet hook
-a skein of Loops and Thread Impeccable in colors gold, pale gray, and sapphire
-tapestry needle
Gauge
Crochet straps: every 16 stitches equal 4 inchesTote Body: every 25 rows and 18 stitches equal 4 inches
Measurements
Notes
To alter the length, crochet more rows for a longer tote and less for a shorter tote.
For a smaller or wider tote, simply cast on in multiples of 12+1.
To make your handle straps longer increase the number of beginning chains. To shorten them, decrease the number of beginning chains.

The Middleton Purse is a basic and classy purse that will be sure to impress all your friends. The purse is just big enough for wallet and a makeup pouch. Great date night or out on the town bag. If you haven't crochet a bag before, this is a great purse to make.
Summer time is a tough season to design in my opinion. With the heat, it doesn't seem like a lot of people are interested in touching yarn. I can attest to it as I have lost my "crojo". So I decided to create the Middleton Collection. The collection includes this Middleton Purse, Middleton Tote, and Convertible Bow Bag. There is one more that is a part of this collection which has not debuted and will probably be introduced Summer 2020.
