In this video, I’ll show you how to knit a market bag. This bag is cute and practical. It’s great for toting around groceries, gym gear, beach wear and more. It’s, lightweight, eco-friendly and a fun knit!
The market bag is knit flat and then joined in the round to create the sides and top handles. It’s a unique construction that’s incredibly satisfying when it comes together.
This bag pattern is appropriate for those who are comfortable casting on, knitting, purling, casting off and knitting in the round. This is a medium difficulty project. It’s recommended to both adventurous beginners and seasoned knitters.
Please note: The price of the PDF pattern will fluctuate with time to keep up with inflation and the average price of a cup of coffee.

I'm only a beginner, the most I've made is a few dish towels and a scarf, but the way you teach is good for EVERYONE! You're not condescending to newer knitters, but you don't rush through and make it feel like an expert pattern. Thank you for being a great teacher!
Thank you so much for your kind words. It made my day 🥲🤗
u won't be a beginner anymore after u knit this bag😎
Your knitting tutorial is a standout, and I'm delighted to feature it in '31 Quick and Easy Knitting Projects for Beginners.' This bag is so unique and fun to make.
This is excellent! I'm a good knitter -- but lonely, depressed, and was uninspired -- until I found this! So much better than news or weather -- useful and inspiring! Thank you!
Hello 👋 Mimi
How are you doing today?
Phew this was a challenge for me. Halfway through I vowed never to make another, but then all of a sudden something just clicked. I had to listen to your video many times, but you always had a tip for me to figure it out. Thank you! I just started my second, and my quality is 100 times better. Now if I can just finish a few for Christmas presents.
Did you have a problem with stitch count? I’m struggling with it.
@@leslieberkower8163 if I recall correctly I didn't, but you have to really concentrate as you work. I've only made the 2 bags.
@@michellesCanape thanks for responding. 😄
This bag is so cute! If it wasn’t for your tutorials I would’ve given up on learning to knit, but your videos have helped me soo much and now I have been knitting for a little over a year!
Aww that’s so great to hear! I’m happy to be part of your knitting journey 😊
Thank you so much for this video.it is beyond excellent!
I started knitting mid July. My grandson knits and inspired me to try. From watching RUclips videos, I learned to co, knit and pearl. I made a couple of dish cloths, a scarf and knitted two in the round pumpkins, then this video popped up on RUclips.
I watched it several times. Every detail was explained so clearly and I decided to jump in.
It has been slow going, but now I can ‘see’ the stitches and after the first few repeats of rows 1-4 am well on my way.
Things I did to help as a beginning knitter:
1. I started by clipping a stitch marker to the right side of my work. This has really helped to keep me straight as I learned the repeat.
2. Initially, after knitting Rows 1 and 3, I would look over each stitch.
3. I found it easy to forget to YO. Had to pay close attention.
4. As stated in the video, I also needed to look over the stitches. Sometimes they crossed or stuck together and I would accidentally work two as one, hence decreasing the row incorrectly.
5. Take your time!. Stop and start. Don’t stress.
Don’t give up you other newbies!! Start slowly and you will soon see the stitches and become comfortable and start to pick up a little speed.
I cannot say enough good things about this video, from her pleasantness, to her details, and to her showing where we might run into trouble (oh yes!).
The bag is beautiful and so useful. Can’t wait to make another. Having several of these is not too much and what a great gift!
If you think you can’t, you can!! Go for it.
I might even call myself a knitter now.
Thank you, thank you for this excellent video.
I was having a really rough day and seeing this immediately brightened it a bit! My grandmother always had a market bag with her which she'd apparently had for over 20 years since buying it in france. Every time i'd go grocery shopping with her she'd pull it out. Now I can make myself one🥰
The comment where you said "why am I singing, this is not a musical" got me! I do the same thing all the time. For some reason singing things helps my memory better than plain talking to myself
Thank you as always for your tutorial. I always pick up so many little hints and tips, even though I've been knitting for a little while now. Looking forward to making one of these once I get through my WIPs
Thanks for your comment! I also find that singing helps me remember things 😆
This will be a great gift for several people I know, this year. Thank you. You are a good and clear teacher. I was gifted several balls of a good cotton yarn and now have a useful project for the gift.
Thanks for mentioning lifelines because I would be in a mental institution without them and stitch markers. It's exciting seeing how it's growing and can't wait to finish it (even though I am afraid) , although it's now getting fun after the hurdles. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos!
This bag is gorgeous! I look forward to making it when i finish my Rhinebeck sweater. I'm really grateful for your amazing videos. I was a brand new knitter again(35 ish yr hiatus) and when I found your videos I felt capable of learning knitting and wasn't scared of it. Here I am 1.5 yrs later and making sweaters, crazy cable patterns, etc.
I'm working on the bag and after working my P1 M1 row I was short 2 stitches and refused to pull the row out. I added a KFB on the second knit stitch and the last knit stitch to fix my count. So far this bag is fun and I'm excited to see my end result
I just completed the bag, and it came out so cute! Thanks for a fun and easy guide to follow. It made all the difference, and a wonderful way to spend my time quarantined as I recover from Covid.
Love love LOVING this pattern. And your instructions. Looks like an awesome summer knit project. 😊
Thanks so much for making this tutorial!! I have been wanting to make a market tote bag but all the patterns are for crochet, not knit. Love how you included how to fix mistakes too!! 🥰🥰
I noticed all the patterns were for crochet too. I wanted to make one for knitting!
Your the one who taught me to knit!! I would LOVE to see a video on how to knit mittens ❤️ Or some Winter Knitting!! That would be awesome
You literally have the best knitting tutorials on RUclips! I loved the extra details in this episode, thank you for another great tutorial! ❤
You’re very welcome! Thank you for your kind words 😊
I just finished knitting the bag last night🧠it's slightly smaller than the original version as my yarn was a bit short so I reduced the depth of the bag but it turned out to be a beauty all the same🧚♀️can't wait to carry it to the store!
Really proud! it's definitely safe to say I have passed the beginner's level after this creation!
thank you again for this great video💅
I am addicted to watching your tutorials - you make everything look so easy for a beginner. Thank you for the great explaining, step-by-step.
Aww thank you! You made my day 🤗 it’s my biggest goal to make knitting as easy as possible
I've had a very rough day, week, and months. You're really coming through with such a lovely project and a great tutorial, had been wanting to start a new project for a while. Thank you so much ❤
Aww I’m sorry to hear how tough it’s been for you. Hopefully this can be a nice distraction!
You’re the best! Thanks for the fun tutorial and helping me get my Mother’s Day 🎁 gifts completed ❣️
I'm making this bag right now. I have to stop and admire its beauty every few rows. Thank you for releasing this pattern. This is such a fun knit.
I’m so glad you like it! I also think it’s great fun to knit!
I had so far make a couple of beanies with your circular needle tutorial, and now this, which I never thought I could finish, but did!
You are an incredible teacher. You make it all look simple. I will buy the pattern, more because people like you deserve support rather cause I will do this again.
Thank you bunches!
I am new as well. I have been knitting on various looms, but I had never tried to use knitting needles. That is until I recently joined a yarn-lovers group at my local library and the ladies there gently challenged me to at least try using knitting needles. One of them even blessed me with a homemade leather pouch with pockets filled with various sizes and types of needles. She also gave me another one with crochet needles. Sooo...I was touched by their kindness and decided the least I could do is give it a whirl. Thankfully, I came across your channel because you make learning how to knit a lot less intimidating. 🙂I now know how to cast-on and do knit and purl stitches. Not sure if I'm skilled enough yet to make this lovely bag, but I will definitely save the pattern for future use. Thank you!
Thank you for this tutorial. I'm new at knitting and you made this so simple!
Wow! I just subscribed. What an excellent tutorial. You made every step so crystal clear. I’m a self-taught knitter and explaining how to read the work is something I haven’t really seen demoed. Thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge. I look forward to making this project. You are a fantastic teacher and have given me the confidence to attempt my first lace project! Thank you so much. Now I’m off to binge watch the rest of your videos. Cheers from FL😺 oh btw that snack looked awesome!
Your tutorials are by far the best I've come across. This will be my first knit bag that I do. Cannot wait.
Yasss! 🙌 I’m excited for your bag!
Omg, I've just been looking for a good market bag tutorial! I'm definitely going to have so much fun knitting this! Thanks a bunch!
Hello 😊lorrie
How are you doing today
I live on a boat so space is at a premium. I have had a similar one since 1973 as a teen and have loved it. Washable, groceries, hardware store stuff,Sooo looking forward to making more and giving to my buddy boats.
So pretty! Need projects like this for summer...
Yes! 🙌
I always thought you had to crochet bags but i've never seen a knitted one! love this!
I made it! I loved this project so much, the knitting was fun, I learned some new things and it turned out so cute. I want to do another one. Thanks for this tutorial!
So nice to have you back!
Thank you! It feels great to have something to share 😊
I love listening to you teaching us how to do this nice bag. You make it very easy to understand 👌
Thank you! 🤗
I recently bought your pattern and just completed my market bag and I love it! Thank you.
I love this!! I've always been too intimidated to try a lace project before, but this is going to be my first!
I absolutely love your tutorials. You make me feel like I'm a kid again, and the cool, crafty babysitter is coming over and she's not leaving until we make something rad.
Ohhh I love the idea of being a crafty babysitter! Thank you for that!🤠 as for lace, you can always practice the lace repeat on some scrap yarn before trying it “for real” on the bag. When in doubt, swatch! You got this!
Excellent tutorial, Thank you!
This is similar to a bag I knitted many many years ago. Still use it, but couldn't find the pattern. So happy to find this one and your excellent tutorial! I've been knitting forever, but sporadically so forget some of the techniques. Thank you!
You’re very welcome! I hope this bag is as good as your old one!
I love your tutorials! You make everything so easy to understand. I’ll have a go at this one for sure!
Yeahhh! Excited! 🤠
super excited to try this!! love the sage green, best color ever
I agree. It’s so understated! 💚
Love the intermission!! Thanks for the tutorial!
Yayyy! I’m glad you caught the intermission 🍓 I had way too much fun filming that!
I love your channel! When I decided to take up knitting at the start of lockdown, I found it so complicated until I found you. You have such a gift for teaching. My Christmas wish this year is that you do a pattern tutorial for a multi wear sweater scarf 🙏🏻 ❤
Thanks so much for your kind words! 🤗
Just found your channel tonight. So enjoyed this tutorial, what a great teacher you are. Thanks for sharing with us.😊🇺🇸
Thank you so much for your kind words! 🤗
This video popped up on my recommended this morning…ran over to the yarn store this afternoon…just cast on a few minutes ago…thank you for this pattern!! Super excited about it!! I’ve been wanting to make something like this for a while but was only seeing crochet patterns. 😄
At this rate you’ll be done by the weekend! 🤩
Thanks Davina. I am a beginner in knitting. I have started on this bag. Struggling but gonna push till I finish.

Glad you found what you were looking for! 😉
I want to make this so bad. It si pretty. I'm going to buy your pattern to support you because you are such a good teacher. I learned much from your channel. Thank you for creating these tutorials.
Thanks for your support! I appreciate it 🤗
This tutorial is so much appreciated by someone who does not do lace at all but your little bag is gorgeous and I thought it might be a great stocking stuffer type thing to help my family and friends look more hip and cool than they do now. Things are easy when you know how. Thank you for sharing your masterpiece pattern. Please take care of yourself and continue to do your tutorials.
Thanks for your lovely comment! Yes these bags make great gifts 😊
Hey Davina girl!!!! I enjoyed watching you knit this beautiful bag, I have crocheted market bags but one regret I have before I had to stop yarning was I never got to knit a market bag! Oh well LOL!!! I'll live my knitting life through you! Also, thanks for taking us along on your trip to make your snack! So cool to see a bit of Hong Kong! Take care my friend!
Hi Kim! I’m happy for you to knit vicariously through me! 😉 lovely to “see” you here!
I'm about half way through the lace, an oh my goodness that market looks amazing! It made me search out my closest farmer's market.
I’m glad you made it to the intermission! 🍓 and yes! I love farmers markets. So much inspiration there!
I’m learning to knit and have been gradually increasing the complexity of projects but have been afraid to tackle lace. I just watched your video! I’m excited now to pull out that cotton I’ve been saving! Please have a coffee on me as I jump into your fantastic pattern for this Market Bag! Thank your for sharing your skills!
Thanks so much for your support! Enjoy the knitting process. This is a fun pattern!
This was such a clear explanation of the backwards loop cast on, thank you so much! Would you consider adding a time stamp for it (and/or the clip as a separate video) to make it easier to find? Your channel is amazing, I've learned SO much from it!!
I really love this video and the snack break that you took. So far I have finished my garter stitches and done the first four rows. I am going to keep track of what row I am on by writing it down. Thank you for this video and written instruction.
I’m glad you reached the snack break! 🍓 happy knitting!
It's so cute and adorable!!! Tysm
You’re very welcome! 😊
Cute 😍 I was waiting for this so long!
And now it’s here for you! 😊
I’ve watched the whole thing and I still don’t understand how it turned out to be a bag 😅. You’re incredible!!! Will be following these videos to improve my knitting 😊
Great video! I bought your pattern and subscribed. I can't wait to get started.
Can't wait to make this! tysm for the tutorial!
You’re very welcome! 😊
Hi thank u for being so clear with your instructions for the work which really appreciated for us beginners ❤
😍😍😍I can't wait to try this!!! You rock!! 🎸
I’m excited for you! This is such a fun project 🙌
@@sheepandstitch I think i may try it with the smallest macrame cord for sturdiness. I have made bags before and with similar sticking and they do stretch more than you want if you aren't utilizing it has a shopping bag etc. Hopefully I can update you on how it comes out
Wonderfully explained tutorial.
Thank you! 😊
Oh my gosh, I just finished this and it turned out great. I'm a very experienced knitter, but I did have some problems, mostly because it's hard to figure out your mistakes with a lace pattern. You know you've screwed up somewhere, but it's difficult to look at the row and figure out where! Anyway, I did persevere, and it's perfect. Thank you so much for sharing this pattern
Omg this pistachio color is gorgeous...here's the motivation I needed to finish my other project, so I can make myself this cute bag lol!
I love the color too! 💚
Just finished my market bag. Thanks Davina 😊
So happy to hear that! 😊
This tutorial is perfect!! I can't wait to make one!!
Yeahhh! Excited for you! 🙌
If my end stitches are off on the lace stitch, should I start over? I keep ending up with 1 sts where I should have 2, and vice versa
WOW, so pretty!!❤️❤️❤️
Very cute!
Thank you!
I did it! After months of starting over and over again I kept going and made it through to the finished bag. I LOVE it! Thank you for being such a wonderful teacher, I adore your videos! I learned soooo much knitting this bag. I'm kind of sad that I'm done. I think I'll knit another : ) Thank You!!
Great job!! 👏👏👏 kudos for sticking with the bag and not giving up! Now that you’re mastered the bag the next one will be a lot easier to make 😎
Thank you for this tutorial! I'm watching this from Japan. Your English is very clear and easy to follow. I like your humorous advice. I'm having so much fun knitting with your instructions!!!
I am new to knitting but had little problem following your instructions as they are soooo clear! I have knitted a white market bag for my daughter for her beach holiday and she loves it! So do a whole bunch of my knitting friends who have all been knitting your bag. Why have you not been posting up more patterns lately…? 😢
I LOVE IT!!!!
Thank you!
Always glad to see a new video from you in my sub box! I will definitely have to give this one a whirl - I've got some cotton yarn in my stash that I've had no idea what to do with.
This is a great pattern for stash busting🙌 excited for your project!
I really like knitting this bag. I've made a bunch in different sizes for the different kind of shopping i do. Love it so much better than the standard reusable bags. (No plastic bags in Canada anymore.) My favorite yarn is coboo from walmart (bamboo/cotton and cheap!) I would recommend the handles bind off looser, I like Grandmas favorite bind off (on youtube) I find the regular bind off has a hard seam that is kind of painful if there's heavy stuff in the bag. Thanks for this! I'm giving them out as christmas presents this year i think.
Great video! Can’t wait to try! I just bought the pattern 😊
Thanks for your support! I hope you enjoy knitting the bag 😊
Good to have you back! I’m in the middle of knitting a hogwarts scarf and I’m so happy with the result so far!😀💜
Awesome! 🪄
I love all your tutorials! I hope you will do a video about how to read patterns for beginners please 🥺🥺
That’s a good idea! Thanks for the suggestion!
I am so surprised and excited that you live in Hong Kong that I don't even know what to say. It's not often that my interests intersect, but I'm a long-time (casual) knitter, *and* I lived in Taiwan for five years. I don't know how similar the two places *actually* are, but it's great to see a place that reminds me of my other home. 😍
How cool! Taiwan is somewhat similar, and it’s just a short plane ride from Hong Kong.
Excellent
I already have 2 bags like this for $1 each from Daiso and I know Ikea sells them for like $5 each... but I'm still adding this to my project list LOL. Thanks for the pattern!
Superb job 👍
Thank you so much!
Thanks!
Thank you so much!
I'm knitting your bag right now and I love it already. I have a question: why the first rows in garter stitches are 8 while at the end of the lace are only 6?
Very beautiful nd nice 🙏
i'm half way through the body part and i'm so excited! Please tell me what's the purpose of skipping a bump when u pick up stitches somewhere along the side? will it be more even spaced if we just do every bump? thank you in advance for your advice🙏🙏🌷
Thank you for this tutorial!! Brilliant pattern, loved the picking up and casting on to make the straps 🤩 just finished making this for my friend's birthday! The only thing I couldn't understand: why to finish the body having worked rows 1 or 3??? Then the ugly purls of the decrease row will show on the right side? 😬😬 I ended up finishing having worked row 2 or 4 and then decreased on the right side :)
Thank you so much for all your tutorials! I'm a beginner and you are my "go to" on everything. Your slow step by step and repeating, and encouraging, are awesome. Do you not have to "block" this when it's done? guess I don't know when blocking is important or not
This is my next project, can’t wait to start it, I know already I’m going to get annoyed by the M1P parts 😂
A stitch counter would work great here as well.
Ever since I was a beginner knitter, I watched Sheep&Stitch. I've literally grown to do sweaters, boots and gloves here. You're awesome and good at explaining the stitches. Too good, honestly. Love the bag, but don't have circular needles. Can I do it straight and seam up later?
Thank you so much for your kind words. You made my day! As for the bag, when picking up stitches to knit the handle you’ll need a circular needle. I can’t think of a good way to do it with straight needles unfortunately
i've made this whole bag and watched this whole video 3 times and only now i've seen the search party easter eggs! lol
I love that show! Glad you caught it 👀
To do the initial increases (M1-P), try using your left needle to grab the strand of yarn between the two stitches and place it in the correct orientation onto the left needle. I found this to be easier than using my right needle to perform this increase.
OMG you live in Hong Kong 😲😲😲I live in Mainland China ❤❤ how cool. We are so close
Please do a Balaclava ❤
This so 🤬 CUTE 🥰
😂 thanks!
Hi! Love your tutorials! Could you guide me how to join the bag by picking up stitches but not make the handles.. i want to incorporate leather straps in this design. Would appreciate if you could guide me exactly at which point i should change the pattern and how. Thanks:)
Wow
