Make your own summer or beach accessory with this beautiful crochet tote bag pattern in bohemian style!

This classic design is built from just 13 crochet squares, making it a quick and enjoyable project. The finished bag is a perfect market tote bag for shopping, a day out, or just as a stylish everyday carryall.

My version was made in a lovely ivory with mocca-colored seams that highlight the square motifs, but you can easily customize the colors to match your style. You can also add your own finishing touches, such as tassels and beads, for a truly unique, handmade look. This versatile granny square crochet bag pattern creates a sturdy and practical tote you’ll love using every day.
