A fun weekend crochet project you will love to make and show off! Holiday inspired tartan plaid makes this crochet tote a season staple for your shopping trips! The body of the tote is worked flat in an easy tapestry crochet design carrying 2 colors at one time, then embellished with layers of colorful stitching to create a cheery plaid. Finished with straps and a crafty little bow, the tote is seamed up the sides to make a roomy shopping bag for stuffing with gifts (or your next yarn haul)! Let’s get started and together crochet something beautiful! ~ CM
