The pattern is by Daisy Cottage Designs. I changed the way the handle is made as I didn't want to cut off the yarn in the middle of the handle.
I really like how the bag turned out, it matches the colors of my daughter's room perfectly.

I've hesitated to make this Market Bag pattern because I don't care for the two piece handle, either. What were the changes you made?
ReplyDeleteHi Laura! I continued the handle as follows (ch2 counts as one dc):
DeleteR16 – R26: same as row 4
R27: ch2, two dc in next stitch, dc in next 3 stitches, two dc in next stitch. (8) End of row, turn.
R28: ch2, two dc in next stitch, dc in next 5 stitches, two dc in next stitch. (10). End of row, turn.
R29: ch2, nine dc.
Fasten off leaving a long tail for sewing.
And then I sewed the handle to the body of the tote so it looks seamless. Or you can sleep stitch it too, but sewing looks just nicer to me. Hope this helps! :-) Lili
