This tapestry crochet tote is basically a cylindrical basket with a strap. A flat spiral base is crocheted first, then when the diameter of the base is no longer increased, the edges of the spiral move upwards to form the sides. The motif is seventy-two stitches wide, so the base of the tote is a multiple of seventy-two stitches. It is possible to make a variety of sizes with the same design motif simply by increasing or decreasing the number of stitches in the base. You may substitute your own words using the alphabet at the end of the instructions. The charts and instructions in this pattern are for right handed crocheters.
