17 beautiful crochet market bags and totes for your next shopping trip
This blog hop/roundup features crochet market bags, totes and handbags to give you the solutions and style you need the next time you’re out and about.
A blog hop full of crochet market bags, totes and handbags
It’s May and all of the outdoor markets are opening up. We’re heading out to destinations far and wide. We need our crochet market bags, totes and handbags to help us travel in style.
In the “It’s in the Bag” blog hop, you’ll find crochet market bags, totes, handbags and more that will meet all your needs as you venture out to stores, markets and vacation spots. You might want something that:
- Carries your produce and bakery goods from the farmer’s market.
- Adds a touch of style to a casual outfit.
- Gives you a bit of extra storage as you travel near and far.
Whatever you need, you’re sure to find it in this blog hop filled with crochet market bags, totes and handbags.
It’s in the Bag Blog Hop
Each day beginning Friday, May 12th, at 8am EDT, a crochet market bag, tote or handbag design will be featured. You will be able to get the pattern as a free PDF download for 24 hrs with the coupon code (or direct download instructions) that will be provided here on the post.
Visit this roundup post every day May 12-28 and follow these steps to get that day’s featured pattern PDF absolutely free.
Here’s what to do:
Step 1: When you arrive here, scroll down to the day’s design.
Step 2: Next to the pattern photo you’ll find the coupon code (or an indication that it’s a direct download) and a link to the designer’s blog post. Make a note of the coupon code if one is needed.
Step 3: Click the button (like the one above) next to the photo. Scroll through the designer’s post until you find a graphic that looks like one of the following:
Step 4: Click on the graphic and use your coupon code at checkout to get your free PDF download! Note: A direct download from a designer’s website may not need the coupon code to be free.

Troubleshooting
It happens to all of us at some point – something doesn’t work the way it’s supposed to. You may encounter a problem during this blog hop that can easily be solved on your end.
Try these things before reaching out:
- If that day’s feature information doesn’t show up as promised, clear your browser history, esp. if you’ve visited the blog hop post before.
- Make note of the coupon code or direct download information and look for the button on the designer’s post. That button should look like one of those shown above.
- Be sure you’re looking at the correct day’s information. I try to make it obvious but sometimes things get overlooked.
While I’m happy to help, there’s only one of me and I won’t be monitoring the blog hop every minute of the day. I appreciate your patience!

Thank you so much for the pattern and I look forward to making it for a family member. It’s so cute❣
I tried the code for May 20th and it stated the code has expired.
Can you help? Thank you.
First thanks for hosting this great bloghop!!!
and such a pity the bumblebee is not working anymore. I already wrote an email to Willow.
I guess the timezone didn’t work.
gr.
I am also having trouble with the coupon code for the 20th. For at least 20(-30ish) minutes before midnight I kept entering the code into my cart in the store on the designer’s website. But the only response I kept getting was ‘Submitting…’ and nothing else, for 5, even 10+ minutes at a time.
I was not able to try to get the pattern earlier in the day due to health problems. I know both the designer’s and especially you, Debbie, work exceptionally hard on blog hops like these. And I couldn’t be more appreciative to both you and the designer’s for your efforts.
But if there is any way to get some help, that would be great. Thanks so much.
Cleared my cache and now shows nothing…but if not working before, who knows if mine would’ve worked even if I had thought of that in the first place.♀️♀️
Again, a big thank you to you, Debbie, and all the designer’s participating in this blog hop!
Thank you for taking the time to put this hop together. Some of the designers are new me. I probably would have never come across these talented people. Again thank you for all your hard work.
Much appreciated.
For those of you who had difficulty with the code for the Bumble Bag on May 20, I apologize for the issues you may have encountered. We try very hard to be sure that everything works properly but, sometimes, things happen we don’t anticipate.
The code for the Bumble Bag will remain valid through 11:59 EDT Sunday, May 21st. I hope you’ll try again and grab your copy of this wonderful design!
Best,
Debbie
Thank you so, so much! I appreciate that! I love all the work you do and the hops when they come out!
Hi Debbie!
Thank you so much for all the work you’ve done to put this hop together for us!
Just wanted to give you feedback on the coupon code for the bee bag on May 20th. I was also one who was having difficulty with the code yesterday with a similar occurrence as other participants of the code never applying. I appreciated another chance to try again today, and after several attempts at several earlier times, I am still experiencing the same issue. I at least wanted to let you know. This must be frustrating for you and I hope things get worked out! (It is about 12:50 pm eastern time as I post this.)
All the best, and thank you again! Shawne
Shawne,
Thank you for your kind words. I love providing these events because I think it showcases some amazing work by crochet designers you might not now.
Sometimes these glitches happen. Unfortunately this one is beyond my control and ability to correct. I hope you and others will continue to support the blog hop and MadameStitch in spite of this rather rare occurrence.
Best,
Debbie
Hi Debbie!
Thank you for your reply ☺️…Yes, I totally understand glitches happening! I am not familiar with all the background workings so I just thought I’d at least let you know what was going on in case. In the end, the designer was so kind as to email me a copy of the pdf! So delightfully unexpected . Thank you once more for such a fun hop! ~Shawne
Thank you for getting this worked out. I love blog hops.
Thank you. The code worked for me this time.
I’m looking for the Keek Stitch Bag by Regina P Designs for the 26th of May. Is there a code?
Julie,
You were just a bit early! The roundup post is updated around 8am EDT every morning.
Regina’s bag info should be up now.

Hiya Debra! It’s 9:33 pm on the 27th and Ravelry is saying that the code for today is expired already. Has something gone wacky again or is my timing off, lol. It’s another really cute bag and I love the name. Thanks!
FYI. Time zone issue. I contacted Lyndsey and she very kindly extended the code for another 24 hrs.
Tina
Tina,
I know a number of people experienced the expired code. That code will be active through today (May 28th) so everyone has a chance to get a copy.
Enjoy!
Debbie
It says the coupon is expired on Ravelry and on her site. Isn’t it supposed to be good until early morning? Win some, lose some.
Yeah same here. It’s not working for me either.
Thanks so much Debbie! I and I am sure everyone else, appreciate all the time and effort you put into these blog hops!! Have a Wonderful day and week ahead!!
Good Morning Debbie,
Thank you for all the beautiful bags. You have a nice weekend and Memorial Day.
Thank you for all of these fabulous patterns. I’ve already made some of them and I am looking forward to making more. Again, thank you!
Oh my goodness…I’m so thrilled to hear that.
I’m glad you enjoyed the blog hop!
-Debbie
