This crochet tote is made with mostly single crochet stitches, an eyelet row for the bow trim and a row of bobbles. It is embellished with Saundra’s signature heart-paw motif in a contrasting color and the motif may be completed on either or both sides of the tote.

Instructions for both Fair Isle and Cross-stitch motifs are included for your choosing. The pattern includes written directions with video links and diagrams, a charted pattern of the motif and a basic lesson in constructing and sewing the optional fabric lining.

Saundra’s patterns are a collaborative effort by the members of the German Shepherd Lovers Group here on Ravelry. But there is no doubt this pattern has been designed by Sherrie/SMotoExpress, it is loaded with detail as she leads you through each step of the project. Sherrie will be hosting a Create-a-Long in May in the GSD Lovers thread where you can get personal coaching and cheerleadling from the designers themselves.

The funding from Saundra’s Store is used to support the therapy and care of special needs German Shepherds.

A very special Thank You to all the designers and supporters of Saundra’s Store, your creativity, inspiration, pattern drafting and test knitting make this possible. xo
