Ivy League Tote
This tote is named after the mark of any prestigious university - climbing ivy vines. This bag is tote-ally unique with its crocheted embroidery design, and pretty braided handles. Measuring a roomy 4” x 11” x 12.5”, it makes great company on errands or a day at the library.
You won’t even have to sew a lining into it - most of the bag is made in single crochet (sc) stitches. It’s also made with medium weight yarn, making it extra sturdy. Make it in a color with different shades for a subtle look, or use contrasting colors to make the design shine.
