Big Striped Tote Bag Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

Big Striped Tote Bag Crochet Pattern 

  By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

 

 I designed This Simple Tote Bag Crochet Pattern

About 10 Years ago.

I decided it was time to retest and update the 

Crochet Pattern. And Also, thought it would be fun to

 do this update as a Video Crochet A Long.

I am very excited about this Video Crochet Along 

and I hope you are too. Do not worry if you don't have

 time for the Crochet A Long right now, the videos and

 pattern will always be here when you do have the time. 

The bag is a big roomy bag, that will fit lots of yarn, 

groceries , books, toys, and whatever you need to carry. 

It measures about 12 x12,  x 36 inches around.

It's Even Large Enough To Carry 2 Chihuahuas!

Max And Rosie Don't mind. 

The Technique For The Stripes is called "Fading".

Moving from one color to next color, 

blending the colors together.

You can use 3 or more colors. Have fun and see 

what color combinations you can come up with.

These are the colors I have Chosen For
