Tweed takes the stage in this rustic crocheted tote bag! Worked seamlessly from beginning to end, the body features a deeply dimensional basketweave pattern in front/back post double crochet. Contrasting top band and straps are worked in right-side single crochet. Optional decorative buttons finish it off for that personal touch.

Bag is worked in the round from bottom up. Straps are worked separately in unjoined rounds with two strands of yarn held together as one, then sewn to top.
