Saco de Rede para Produtos (Croché)

The pattern photos walked me through each round without a single moment of confusion, and the finished bag holds up beautifully after three washes already. I’ve used it for onions and lemons at the market, and the cotton yarn feels sturdy yet soft in hand.

The cotton is dense enough that my grapes don’t bruise on the way home, but the mesh still lets them breathe so nothing gets sweaty. It’s held up through three machine washes already without losing its shape, which is more than I can say for the flimsy nets I used to get at the checkout.

The cotton yarn feels sturdy yet soft in hand, and after a dozen trips to the farmers market it still holds its shape without stretching out. I love that I can toss it in the wash and it comes out looking brand new, which makes me reach for it over the plastic bags every time.
