I have been looking for a casserole carrier/tote carrier for years. I finally gave up and came up with my own. If you want it bigger, you can add rows, but I made my pattern to fit small, medium and large casserole dishes. If you need something super large, you can adjust. I do have several pictures with the pattern that will help you understand the construction.

Everyone that sees this carrier wants one. It uses sc, chain, dc, and slip stitch, so very easy stitches, but it might be considered an intermediate pattern.

If you have any questions, please let me know. I know this is a pattern you will use over and over. I use this carrier as a gift for so many occassions, and since it is unique, people love it.
