Stylish, sturdy and handmade? It’s true! This approachable crochet pattern combines easy stitches to create a bag that is both durable and functional. Load it up for a picnic or a day at the beach--it’ll hold it’s shape while you’re on the go. With an interior phone pocket and optional non-stretch straps, you may just be inspired to crochet a tote in every color.

This pattern can be made with 300g of any flat “tape” style yarn, including Lion Brand Rewind or a type of raffia. Substituting a two strands of worsted weight cotton or jute will also work. The sturdy handles are crocheted with 100g of worsted weight cotton. Add an optional strip of nylon inside each handle to eliminate any stretch.

The PDF includes a written pattern and photo tutorial. Photos are separate from written pattern so you can choose to print them or conserve ink.
