Crochet Mesh Tote

Description

 If you are just starting out on your crochet journey, please don’t let the openwork design fool you into thinking this is complicated. We use simple chain loops and basic half double crochets to create this classic net texture. It is a wonderful, repetitive project that lets your mind drift away into a relaxing rhythm, and you’ll be amazed by how quickly it grows in your hands!

I am so thrilled that this pattern includes instructions for both a large and a small size, because they each have so many wonderful uses. The large tote makes an absolute dream of a project bag, it can comfortably hold up to twelve 50g balls of yarn plus your tool pouch with room to spare! The small tote is just darling for quick trips to the corner store, holding your daily essentials, or making a sweet matching “mommy and me” set for a little helper.

What’s Included

• Complete written instructions tailored individually for both the large and small tote sizes.

• Step-by-step photos to guide you through working the mesh rounds and seamlessly attaching your comfortable flat handles.

• Helpful notes on capacity detailing exactly how much your large tote can hold for your crafting projects.

• US/UK conversion chart to keep your crafting completely stress-free.

I used a couple of beautifully bright, cheery cotton shades for my sample totes, but I cannot wait to see what gorgeous colors you choose for your pair. Whether you make the large one for your heavy-duty yarn haul or the small one for a sweet gift, I know you will do a wonderful job.
