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

Lady's Shopping Bag Crochet A Long | Posh Pooch Designs

 Lady's Shopping Bag Crochet A Long

Crochet Pattern

By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

The Ladies Tote Bag was one of the first Bag Crochet

 Pattern designs I actually wrote up. It was originally made 

out of Red Heart Super Saver yarn and  Scrap yarns.

But I really love the striping yarns for this bag.

It is the perfect bag for shopping, and produce at the

 Farmer's Market. It also makes a great book bag, Ipad bag, 

project bag, tote bag, and overnight bag.

Please, Remember To Refresh Your page

 after each step 

so you will not miss the video, 

updates and new pics.

It can be stitched up in cotton, Acrylic and blends, 

 and just about any any med (4) weight yarns.

Whatever fiber is your preference, it will work.

I like to make them in cotton yarn for produce and shopping.

 I like acrylic yarn for books, Yarn and other items.

This bag has so many uses.
