Welcome to September, the transition between Summer and Fall. The weather gets cooler and the leaves fall from the trees. This is the time of year when you begin to pull out those sweaters but still wear shorts! For the month of September, the crochet patterns will focus on those accessories that fit into this transition time of year. The first accessory is a colorful Tote bag, because you can never have too many Tote bags!
Here we go a skein, fresh off the hook:
This colorful and versatile tote bag is done with basic crochet stitches and works up quickly. The bag was done using single crochet and half double crochet stitches and is great for crocheters of all skill levels. You can add some faux leather handles (purchased online) or make crochet handles (as noted in the instructions) and add a bag liner to make the tote bag sturdier. (see photo)
The size of the bag is perfect to hold a book and other items or can be used as a project bag as it is large enough to hold a few skeins of yarn and any crochet tools needed.
Have a hooky day! Lynne
