Pressed Flowers Tote was inspired by the floral pattern and the colors of dried flowers. It’s a simple tote made with a single crochet stitch, in a tapestry crochet technique.

This tote was made with #10 crochet thread held triple, but a single DK or worsted weight cotton yarn can be substituted as well. You will require less yardage if using a thicker yarn.

I have fully lined the bag, and added a pocket, zipper closure, and a pair of large tassels. All instructions for making the lining and installing the zipper, are provided with the pattern. I have also included detailed photos of each step.
