For such a beginner friendly pattern, this crochet granny square tote bag is a pro at all your bag needs.

A simple two panel granny square project, easily customized to a larger bag, smaller bag, different strap configurations and lengths. This granny square can just about do it all.

Great as a beach bag in summer and back to school bag in the fall, as well as a great market bag year round!

I used and highly recommend raffia yarn for this granny square bag for heavy duty use and longevity, not to mention the look, but feel free to use what you like. Just know that results may vary!
