"This pattern was designer by a guest designer through Joy of Motion Crochet. The Sandy Crossbody Tote is the perfect on-the-go stylish tote. Throw a couple of water bottles and a pair of sunglasses in it for a quick visit to the park with your kiddos. Throw your wallet and coupons in it for a jaunt up to the craft store. Toss in a book and a bottle of sunscreen and hit the beach. This tote would even make a beautiful date night bag. If you are worried about small bits like lipstick or other odds and ends, then grab a stylish little zipper pouch to put those little bits in and toss it into your Sandy Crossbody Tote."

Water Bottle Holder
"A simple, useful thing of beauty. Thoughts of carefree days. Of travels. Of adventures. A cool sip of water on a hot day. Meet the lovely Crochet Water Bottle Holder. Because, really, any time you're adventuring you might need a sip of water from a bottle you'd like to carry with you. On a hike maybe or to a park. The strap is perfect for throwing over your shoulder or wearing it cross body style-which is my personal favorite. The water bottle cover is worked in cotton worsted weight yarn, the kind often used for dishcloths. You might even have some yarn in your stash for the project! Let's dive in!"
Trinity Stitch Zipper Pouch Artemis
"Trinity stitch zipper pouch Artemis has a very nice texture. It is great for keeping your cards or coins. The pattern includes a written pattern and detailed photo instructions showing how to make this zipper pouch. It also has a link to photo tutorial showing how to sew in a zipper and attach lining. Any thin yarn will work, but for me mercerized cotton works best. So, grab your hook and make this beautiful zipper pouch for yourself or your friend!"
