Posh Pooch Designs : Scrap Happy Tote Bag Crochet Pattern

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.
