22 Colorful Knitted Market Bags
I’m really glad that we care about the environment more and more these past years. I must admit I’ve made some zero-waste swaps myself, and one of these changes is that I’ve switched from plastic bags to material ones that I can use literally forever and throw them easily into my washing machine. Unfortunately, they can be a little pricy when you want to buy them online or in a store. But don’t worry, because you can easily knit one in almost no time with some leftover yarn. Above all, I love how colorful and boho these projects look! In conclusion, you have to try some of these cute knitted market bags!
