Kitties In A Row Tote Bag Free Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

Kitties In A Row Bags Crochet Pattern
By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

I Love This stitch Pattern. 

It is fun to crochet and looks really cute when it is done.

But because I have and love Chihuahuas,

 I decided to call it "Chihuahuas in a Row".

 Just kidding. 

You will see I didn't stitch my tote bag up 

in the traditional way of 

doing the "Kittens in a row" Stitch pattern..

I changed colors every 2 rows, not every 3 rows.

You know me, I like to change things up a bit.

I Love These Bright colors too!

And the yarn is Red Heart Supersaver.

So it can be washed easily.

I really do think they look like Chihuahuas in a row!
