A modern twist on the classic granny square, the Cotswold Garden Bag is a beautiful, beginner-friendly crochet tote with a soft vintage feel. Designed to be both practical and eye-catching, it’s the kind of project that brings joy at every stage—from choosing colours to sewing the final stitch. Whether you’re heading to the market, gifting something handmade, or just want a bag that feels special, this pattern is for you.

The bag is constructed from 34 granny squares, carefully joined together in a thoughtful layout to form the front, back, sides, and bottom of the tote. Once the panels are assembled, you’ll add a neat top edging and finish with sturdy crocheted straps, worked directly onto the bag—no extra sewing needed.
