2 skeins of Hobbii Rainbow Cotton 8\8 Color B (I used Natural White n.002)
3,5 mm hook

About the pattern:
Construction
The bag is worked on by crocheting 4 parts: front, back and two handles. All the parts are joined together at the end with a darning needle or slip stitching.

Techniques
Half Double Crochet, Tapestry Crochet, Slip Stitches.

Measurements
The bag is 33 cm wide x 33 cm long–from the handle to the bottom is 63 cm.
It’s a little smaller than a standard tote bag.

Advice and personalization
You can make this bag in whatever material you want! I went with cotton because it’s more breathable and sturdy, but you can use wool or acrylic (it would be warmer but will not keep its shape as good as cotton).
You can always make your bag bigger or smaller by increasing or decreasing the number of squares :)
