Ingelise Tote – Crochet Bag Pattern (Macramé-Inspired Strap)

Named in memory of my late step-grandmother, this tote was designed using yarn from her cherished stash.
The Ingelise Tote is a simple yet meaningful project—perfect for warm weather outings, gifting, or adding a soft, bohemian-romantic touch to your wardrobe.
Made with 100% cotton yarn, this tote features a gently textured X-stitch body and a macramé-style strap that gives it a unique handmade charm. The X-stitch creates a beautiful woven look that’s easy to learn and relaxing to repeat. It’s a satisfying make for confident beginners or adventurous crocheters looking for a light challenge.
