A roomy, structured crochet tote bag with compartments, made entirely from recycled yarns. Three different yarn types and weights give the bag its texture and structure, the result looks polished and holds its shape well.

The construction is more involved than a simple bag: you build the base and body separately, add internal structure, and finish with straps and a clean edge. The pattern walks you through each stage with detailed photos. The tote size can be customised by following the instructions in the pattern.

Big enough for books, a laptop, or daily essentials, with compartments to keep things organised. Perfect for work, back to school, or casual outings.
