About the pattern

The Solara bag begins as a simple rectangular panel, then folded and stitched to create its final shape.

You can create it using one or two colors, or opt for a striped version for a more colorful appearance.
You will need less than one skein of each color to complete the bag.

The pattern includes an illustration and a step-by-step photo tutorial for seaming the bag and assembling the handle.

Ideal for the market, beach, or everyday use, this versatile tote will become your essential accessory this Spring and Summer. Its beginner-friendly design makes it perfect for new crocheters while offering a quick and enjoyable project for those with more experience.
