The June Tote is a lightweight reusable bag great for your summer essentials or strolling through the farmer’s market. Two handles allows this market tote to be handheld or slung over your shoulder. Make one, make two or make a few to keep on hand for the grocery store. I've included a photo tutorial on how to get this bag started. I used one of my favorite stitches, what I call the v-arch. It's just a v-stitch with ch 3 instead of ch 1, but I love it. I first used it in my summer poncho/coverup The Merletto Poncho.

If you're a mother to a toddler or baby, you know just how difficult it is to carry multiple things in your purse for yourself and your child, and then you have your child attached at the hip (literally).

This free crochet bag pattern has a shorter strap with a smaller bag portion so you can still fit the essentials while allowing the bag to stay on your shoulder instead of falling down. The special spike stitch is used giving the bag a bit of a funky look.

This tote bag is completely reversible. It is worked as one piece on a base and then seamed together to make it fully reversible.

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."
