Luxury Market Bag and coin purse

I made this bag for shopping expeditions, having found that the first market bag I made when all lank when I put my goodies in and the straps dug into my hand. I decided that I needed a more luxurious version in my life, so I set about designing my own version.

I also made a budget friendly version (pink/white) of the bag with Rico Creative Cotton Aran, the base diameter was 24cm and I used a 5mm hook. I had much more leftovers with this yarn so I made a larger coin purse.

Stitches used treble, double crochet, chains, slip stitches, decrease/increases
