This filet crochet market bag kit gives you everything you need to make a roomy, open-mesh bag you’ll actually want to carry around. The pattern lets you work in a heart, flower, chevron, or your own custom chart right into the body of the bag, so it’s a great way to practice filet technique while making something useful.
The kit comes with 4 skeins of DillyDally DK, a plant-fiber blend made from 70% Pima cotton, 20% bamboo, and 10% hemp. That combination means it’s soft against your hands while you work, and the finished bag has a nice drape and sheen with real structural strength for hauling groceries, beach gear, or a few crochet projects.
DillyDally comes in vibrant, gemstone-inspired colors, so you can pick a shade that feels like you. Each skein is 109 yards and 50 grams, and the yarn is put up in skeins ready to work with.
One thing worth knowing: because this is a cotton blend, expect 5 to 10% shrinkage in the finished fabric length. Wash and dry a gauge swatch with your usual care method before you start. Hand washing and drying flat is recommended, but it has been tested in a machine wash and dry cycle with about 10% shrinkage and no pilling.
