Don’t leave your garden at home, take it out with you! This is a digital PDF ONLY and recommended for INTERMEDIATE crocheters. Beginner sewists can do the optional Lining to the bag.

For the Pansy Tote MINI, please visit my OTHER listing!

This is a Pansy Tote (Large size) inspired by Christopher Kane’s Pansy Tote! The tote can be carried by the shoulder and features the pansy flower’s iconic front three petals and a petal-inspired handle. For further durability, an optional lining can be added.

The pattern will walk you through how to craft your own pansy tote. It is highly customizable, with 6 possible color combinations, 2 Handle sizes, 2 Edging options, and a full tutorial on how to line your own bag! Along with this in-depth tutorial comes with pictures on almost every step AND videos on more specific techniques!

The final tote is about 20 x 25”, with optional Handle circumferences 17”-24”.
