If you love the beach and enjoy crochet, here's the perfect project for you. This Summertime Beach Tote is not just fit for all your beach essentials but it also radiates the cheerful vibes of summer. Its easy crochet stitches are versatile enough for beginners yet satisfying for the more seasoned crafter. This pattern comes with a photogenic pop of color that definitely stands out from your regular totes.
For this project, you will need the following items:
Start your tote bag by chaining a loop with your main color. The size of your bag will depend on the number of chains in your initial loop. For a standard sized bag, 100 chains should suffice. Using a slip stitch, join the loop and ensure it is not twisted.
Start crocheting using the main color and continue working in the rounds until the bag reaches your desired height. Switch to your contrasting color to make the upper border and handle. Cut your yarn and weave in the ends with the yarn needle to finish off your project.
