Crochet Tote Bag

I came up with this pattern for a crocheted purse! Sorry can't post a pic, but it is really cute!

Materials

• approx. 4-6 ounces of cotton yarn, depending on what size your making (I doubled to make mine sturdy)
• aluminum G hook
• scissors
• measuring tape (optional)

Sizes: reg (large)

Pattern Instructions

Body:

Row 1- Ch 25 (35), sc in second chain from hook, sc to end. Ch 2, turn.

Rows 2-13 (2-19) *Hdc in in back loops of first sc, hdc in back loops ONLY across. Ch 1, turn. Sc across, ch 2 turn.*

Strap:

You may braid a strap or crochet a strap. Make up your own! If you don't have time or aren't really creative you can use this pattern:

Ch 5 (8), sc in second ch from hook, sc to end. Ch 1 turn.

You may make this strap as long as you like by simply adding more rows! You may also add extra rows to the purse if you like!

Thank you! (if you do post this pattern anywhere, please post my name on it: Mackenzie OK)

Enjoy!
