Eve's Reversible Tote Bag

This tote bag is completely reversible. It is worked as one piece on a base and then seamed together to make it fully reversible. I added purchased faux leather handles, but of course if you prefer, you could crochet handles instead. The first side is worked in a basic chevron with a modification for a fun look. The second side has a tapestry look. The bag is nicely sized at approximately 12″ x 13″ not including the handles, but it is easy enough to increase or decrease sizing."

Essentials Project Tote

Finally, what essentials tote bag collection would be complete without a crochet project bag? It wouldn't, so here is a crocheted tote for all your crochet project needs. Indeed, the project container demonstrates just how good the projects inside can be.

Tricolor Tote

"The Tricolor Tote has so many fun details - changing stitch patterns, fun tassels, braided handles - but its soft color palette and orderly structure bring balance to this fast and fun (and free!) crochet pattern! The Tricolor Tote was designed using Lion Brand Fast-Track, which is a really fun and unique yarn! Soft cotton/poly blend in a tape-like shape, it's like crocheting with your favorite t-shirts. And I love the look it gives projects! This tote is also another pattern on my never-ending search for the ideal bag handles. I've tried many different methods over the years, but I think this is the first time I've tried braids! This yarn lends itself really well to these braided handles, with only a tiny bit of stretch, lots of strength, and some great color play that ends in tassels! If this handle style isn’t to your taste, you can always add pre-purchased handles, or crochet your own using the linked tutorial!"

Crochet Oversized Tote Bag Pattern

This Crochet Oversized Tote Bag will immediately become the bag of your dreams! Oversized and roomy to fit all of your essentials and more, this tote has reinforced surface crochet details to help it retain its shape and prevent too much stretching.

This is an easy level crochet pattern and the techniques involved are the half double crochet, single crochet, slip stitch, working flat and in the round, and surface crochet.

Easy Crochet Purse Handles

"Bags and purses are so popular to crochet, but finding the right purse handles doesn't always fit in with your project! These purse handles are made very quickly, and are sturdy and durable. They can be made in any colors to match your project, or in jute which will coordinate with any colors. Black is also another good option and it too will work with any color of purse being made! Add this pattern to your bags and purses patterns for a quick finishing detail!"
