ABOUT
Strida Tote is inspired by beach days as a friend to help you carry all your beach essentials. You can also use her as a market bag for storing fruit and veggies. Or simply just to carry your precious yarn, current wip & accessories with you wherever you go.
To make this tote, you’ll need approx. 2.5 balls of any sport weight cotton yarn, a 3 mm crochet hook and some standard crocheting notions.
Strida Tote builds up super fast, is done all in one piece and there is only one tiny seam at the end to join your strap to the tote body.
You can make your Strida in two colors as instructed in this pattern, but it will also look amazing made in one single color.
This crochet pattern is suitable for beginners as it uses the most basic crochet stitches and includes pictures and notes for all important steps in the construction process.
Happy crocheting!!
