An easy crocheted bag, designed to use up all your scraps and odds and ends of yarn. Once again, I couldn’t come up with a name for this tote, so I googled “scrap” and one of the things that popped up was the word “decommission” and hence, the decommissioned tote was named… a way to use up your stash!

Lots of options when you buy this pattern - two sizes in two different shapes, either a round bottom or a rectangle bottom. Bag is made in the round, with the handles worked flat, and the only seam is sewing the second half of the handle in place.

Measurements:

  • Small Rectangular Tote: 10” across by 9” high by 2” wide, with a 14” handle
  • Large Rectangular Tote: 12” across by 11” high by 2.5” wide, with a 16” handle
  • Small Round Tote: 9.5” across by 10.5” high, with a 16” handle
  • Large Round Tote: 12” across by 12” high, with a 16” handle

Use any acrylic or cotton yarn in your stash.
