Beaded Mesh Market Bag Crochet Pattern

This mesh bag is covered with wooden beads, which gives it a heavy, textured, boho look. It is made from thin cord with a 3 mm hook and a simple chain-and-double-crochet mesh, with a bead placed in every other stitch. The finished bag measures about 12 by 14 inches (30.5 by 35.5 cm) and has long shoulder handles about 22 inches long. A video link shows how the beads are added.
