The Sweet Simple Tote Bag is both fun and functional. The handbag is made in one continuous piece starting from the base. Two strands of yarn are held together throughout to create a strong bag. Because it’s thick, a lining is not necessary.

And it’s made with just single crochet stitches, so there’s no complicated stitch patterns to remember. Stripes along with pompom and tassel bag decorations add a fresh splash of color.
