Simple Striped Tote Bag
It's that time of year again when I'm ready to break out the cotton yarn and make myself a dozen different crochet bags. After all, one can never have too many bags, especially tote bags! I consider tote bags to be a summer essential… who am I kidding? I use my crochet tote bags all year round. Why do I historically design new tote bags this time of year? I think it's because I'm being optimistic that, eventually, spring and summer will arrive here in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Maybe it's my way of willing the warmer weather to come, or maybe I just love my growing collection of bags.
Easy Crochet Tote
Tote bags like this are great to have because of their size. The roomy interior of this Easy Crochet Tote will fit much more than the daily essentials. You can literally fit anything you want inside this tote including a laptop and a skein of yarn. The striped pattern of this classic carryall makes this a versatile pattern to complete because you can use any two colors of yarn that you prefer. It measures about 13 inches wide and 11 inches tall when complete.
Star Stitch Tote
The first essentials tote bag we have is the star stitch tote. Indeed, this is a project on the fancier side of this category. In particular, the reinforced edge, bottom and handles are a very good feature.
Alpine Paths Tote
"The Alpine Paths Tote is adorable and perfect for so many different uses! Measuring approximately 13” x 12.5” x 4.5”, this tote can easily hold any essentials (and non essentials)! Large enough to hold a project, supplies, and a large skein of yarn, the Alpine Paths Tote is also the perfect size for a project bag. A pattern with beautiful texture that is simple and easy to work on while watching TV! Difficulty: Beginner/Advanced Beginner Stitches used: dc, hdc, alpine (fpdc, dc) This pattern has been tested for clarity and accuracy."
Chic Shopper Tote
"If you're hoping to make the next step from simple hats and scarf projects then this easy crochet beach tote bag tutorial is a great simple project for beginners. Once you have created your base you can make your bag as deep or shallow as you like, the sturdy stitch means it's perfect for all of your groceries. I love the large tote size as it works just as easily with a laptop and an essential crochet project as it does when it's stuffed full of beach accessories. The best bit is that as it's made from cotton it can be washed easily if your sun cream leaks or you drip your coffee on it - or is that just me?"
