Scrap Happy Tote Bag Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

 Scrap Happy Tote Bag 
Crochet Pattern 
By Sara Sach of  Posh Pooch Designs


 The Scrap Happy Tote Bag is our first Scrap Happy
 project for 2023. 
 I have been working on it for quite a while.
 I started it with several different
 colors of yarn from my stash, and just did not like
 how it was looking. I then remembered I had some 
Vanna's Choice yarn left from some other projects.
The Vanna's Choice yarn colors and shades all seem
 to work together nicely.



I Love How The tote bag stitched up. I used 2 strands
 of Medium (4) held together and it makes strong tote
 bag, but also a very pretty bag, that love using.
It's strong enough for the Farmers Market, and you will
 have a lovely bag that everyone will love. 


The bag measures about 24 inches around X 14 
inches tall, not including the handle. So it's a really nice
 size for shopping, using as a project bag, or maybe
 your hand bag.
