Named for one of Victoria’s many wonderful markets, this bag is made with Cascade’s Avalon cotton/acrylic blend, which results in a sturdy and washable bag. Buttons on the side panels allow for expansion, and the pattern provides instructions to add wooden handles or to crochet a strap. You may choose, as I have, to sew in a lining to give the bag additional strength and a bit of colour on the inside.
