This fun crochet beach tote evokes images of wet sand, crystalline turquoise ocean waves and fluffy white clouds in a blue sky. Choose an easy-care cotton yarn and crochet this handy accessory that’s perfect for that lazy day at the beach!

The bottom of the tote is solid single crochet worked in rounds using the spiral method. The main body of the tote employs the smooth wave stitch pattern which is worked with alternating groups of single and double crochet. The strap is joined to the tote body at the end of each row, eliminating the need to sew it on after it’s made.

The pattern includes:
• Written instructions
• Photo tutorial for the strap join and the wave stitch pattern
• A crochet chart for the wave stitch pattern

This pattern is most appropriate for an advanced beginner/intermediate crocheter.
