A Crochet Tote Bag in One Piece

Built-in handles and nothing to sew. Chains and single crochet only.

What you need

Worsted-weight cotton yarn, a 4.5 mm hook, a stitch marker and scissors.

Step 1: Crochet the base

Chain 46 and work single crochet around both sides of the chain for a long oval of 94 stitches.

Step 2: Work the body

Single crochet around and around in a spiral until the bag is about 30 cm tall. No seams.

Step 3: Make the handles

Chain across two gaps near the top, then single crochet over the chains on the next round.

Line it if you like

A fabric lining stops small things slipping through. Three sizes are in the full pattern.
