Pattern: Brunnera Market Bag

This post may contain affiliate links. As an affiliate member I may receive a commission at no extra cost to you.

The other day I was in line at the store and I saw this woman who had a reusable market bag that she was using to hold her fruits and veggies. I loved the look of the bag and, of course, I thought “I could make that!” So here is my take on it.

This is the Brunnera Market Bag (pronounced bruh-NEER-uh). This pattern was inspired by the Brunnera flower. It is a small, blue, 5 petal flower native to eastern Europe and northwest Asia. It is such a simple-looking little flower, which is what I wanted for this pattern; a simple design.
