CLOUDBERRY Market Tote is based on a vintage
1970s crochet stitch.
1970s crochet stitch.
This filet-style stitch appeared mainly in garment design
using only one colour.
I love this crochet stitch, it is easy and quick, and when you add colour to each row, you are rewarded with a fantastic looking piece of fabric, and what better way to display this filet-style stitch than incorporating it into an easy care and easy wear market tote.
I have called this market tote pattern Cloudberry because the colours remind me of a small orange fruit, which goes by that name. It can sometimes be found in Scotland and Wales, however it is very well-known in Scandinavian countries, Russia, Canada and Alaska. It grows naturally in the more northern parts of the Northern Hemisphere and can withstand cold temperatures as low as -40C. What is most memorable to me are the colours of this raspberry-like fruit, and the very tasty jam which can be made with them.
CLOUDBERRY Market Tote Crochet Bag PATTERN includes written instructions for a bag with approx. circumference 30in (76cm); 17in (43cm) deep; strap 23in (58cm). The pattern includes accompanying photographs at the end of the written instructions.
CLOUDBERRY Market Tote is designed with a gathered base, single strap, and with a drawstring at bag opening.
Cloudberry is the perfect farmer's market bag - throw in your fruits and vegetables and enjoy your day.
Light and breezy, can be easily rolled up and hidden away in your handbag for those unplanned purchases. Can also be used as a beach bag.
