One of my favourite things to crochet is cotton market bags, I use them for lunches, trips to the grocery store, library book bags and project bags. My yarn of choice for them is Bernat Handicrafter from Yarnspirations, it’s durable, machine washable, comes in a ton of colours and it’s budget friendly.
