Market Tote in a Cinch
Every summer we spend a lot of time in our travel trailer. I am always needing a bag for something. Whether it's for a project, change of clothes, snacks or something else, I can never have enough bags. On our last trip, I decided I would try out a skein of the new Red Heart Super Saver Ombre and make a bag I could fit almost anywhere for those last minute needs. I had designed a “Farmer’s Market Bag” a few years ago and have used it a ton. This time I added a drawstring to cinch in the top, plus just one (instead of the original two) handle to make it easier to carry and hang on hooks when not in use. I hope you will like this simple, but super usable, tote.

They're perfect as crochet handbag handles for your bag, tote, purse, and more.
