This pattern is published for free in my blog post https://chabepatterns.com/banana-tote/

If you want the formatted, ad free, 14 page PDF document (with written instructions, also including charts and more than 40 images in photo tutorials) of the Banana Tote, this is available in my pattern store.

The Banana Tote is a spacious and practical bag, to carry your beach outing essentials in a stylish look. Another great project to practice tapestry crochet technique with more that two colors at a time and use those beautiful colors that you have in mind for Summer.
