Use Recycled Yarn for a Small Crochet Market Tote Bag

When I originally designed this pattern a few years ago I used one skein of Red Heart Love yarn.  When I was digging through my stash and found my Re-Tweed Yarn from Lion Brand, I knew I had to remake this bag!  Recycled yarn for a reusable bag?  It just seems like the right eco-friendly combination.

Reusable bags are here to stay! the more that stores try to eliminate plastic bags the more you will be wanting to add to your collection of crochet tote bags. The small size of this crochet market bag pattern will make it easy to carry and useful for many situations. It is slightly smaller than a typical plastic grocery bag, and is the perfect bag for holding things like produce or library books.
