Crochet Tote Bag Patterns
Crochet tote bag patterns make open-top carryalls with a flat base and two handles, sized for groceries, books, or beach gear. Sturdy cotton or cotton-blend yarn worked in dense stitches keeps the tote from stretching. Many totes are worked in rounds from a rectangular base, so there are no side seams to sew.

How do you make crochet tote bag handles strong?
Make tote handles strong by working them in tight single crochet, crocheting over cotton cord or webbing, or doubling the fabric and seaming it into a tube. Attach handles through several rows of the bag body, not just the top edge.
