You won’t believe this tote is crocheted, not knitted!

You’ll want to make several of these — for yourself and to give away as gifts! This is one fashionable tote bag, and taking the DIY handmade approach you’ll also save piles of money.

The key here is the center single crochet stitch which mimics the stockinette stitch in knitting. Even if you’re new to crocheting, this is an achievable project. The super bulky yarn makes it a quick project, too. Nothing like getting beautiful results in a short amount of time!

IF you’re an experienced crocheter, this pattern is a great multi-tasking project. If you sell your crafts for profits, this might become your next bestseller!

This wonderful pattern is free! It’s the “Camel Bucket Bag,” and it’s an original design by crochet designer Jessica Potasz of Mama in a Stitch. She gives you a written pattern as well as her excellent tutorial on the center single crochet stitch, in case it is new to you or you need a refresher.
