Crochet Cotton Tote Bag Pattern - Ambler

This crochet cotton bag pattern is not only worked up in sturdy cotton, but the stitches used, such as the cross stitch and the single crochet, also add to the sturdiness of the bag. Furthermore, you can line the bag with pockets and a zipper for an even more durable bag. A tutorial is included with the crochet pattern on how to line the bag.

Choose a variegated yarn as shown, or add a few stripes or work it in a solid color to make it yours.

So whether you need a new bag for the market, running errands, or the library, this crochet bag pattern is a good choice.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE THIS PATTERN

This bag is worked from the bottom up in one piece. This makes it easy so that you don’t have a lot of ends to weave in.

The pattern is mindless once you get past the bottom of the bag, as you no longer have to count the stitches.

The body of the bag is turned after each round, so the seam stays in a straight line.

Once you are done crocheting, you have the option to line the bag with a sturdy liner. A tutorial is included to show you how to line the bag.

The tutorial provides you with a formula that you can use on any size bag. Furthermore, the bag liner tutorial also shows how to add custom pockets to the liner as well as a zipper to keep everything secure inside your new bag.

Upon purchase, you will receive one 5-page PDF with the printable pattern for the bag as shown. From this PDF, you’ll find a link to a tutorial that shows how to add a bag liner. Another bonus link included shows how to make crochet bag handles in three ways.
