Easy pattern to a big and colorful beach bag (tote), fun project for beginners who are interested in tapestry crochet.

Bottom (diameter): 10.5 in.
Height: 17 in.
Circumference: 35 in.

Strong and sturdy when made of cotton and when holding two strands of the same yarn at the same time. Fairly high consumption of yarn though. I have used almost 800g (300g of main color, 100g each of remaining colors).

Possible variations:

• lining, zipper, extra pocket for purse, button closure …
• Choose only 2 (of 5) patterns and add longer straps for a handbag.
• Work tote without straps but with (drawstring) holes for a gym bag.

Can’t wait to see what you make out if it!
