 The "Quick" Tote Bag

 Crochet Pattern And Video

 By Sara Sach Of Sara Sach Crochet

Formerly Posh Pooch Designs

The Quick Tote Bag is designed using a 20 ounce 

Nestle Quick container, and it is super quick 

to stitch up. So, I  called It The "Quick Tote Bag".

My husband was making himself some 

chocolate milk, his favorite drink of choice, 

And finished the last of the Quick milk powder.

 He asked if I wanted the container.

I immediately said yes, and the idea to

 make a small tote bag with it came to my mind.

The book rings to hold the lid onto the 

container is optional. You do not even have 

to use the lid. Although I really like the

 lid for keeping things safe and dry inside.

I attached 2 book rings I purchased at Walmart.

I found them by the paper clips.

I just "drilled" small holes with my 

small had drill and slid the rings on.

The container measures 6.5 inches tall

 X 15 inches around and 2.5 inches deep. 

I think it's perfect size for everyday use, as well as, 

a great trip bag. It will fit your phone, wallet, and

still have room for your keys and lipstick.

Please note, you do not have to use the quick

 container, that bag will still work great without it.

It looks lovely worn around your hair,

The 4 Double Crochet Cluster Stitches give the scarf

fun and flirty a look of Spring Tulips. The is only about 

4.5 inches wide, and make a perfect Spring And

 Summer Accessory for any outfit.

Premier Yarn LINK

I designed This Scarf using Premier yarn Cotton Sprouts

 in both the Island Breeze and Turquoise color ways. 

I did it half and half, because that is what I has left

 on my skeins of yarn. I just absolutely love the way 

it stitched up. It Looks like the perfect scarf for a 

day at the beach, pool or a picnic.

I am going to look through some of my other left over 

skeins of cotton yarn and see what other combinations

 I can come up with.
