Gauge
20 hdc and 17 rows = 4in/10cm over hdc patt using size US D-3/ 3.25mm crochet hook.

Fringe accents add a flirty finish to this tasseled tote. Crafted in the yellows, greens and oranges of NATSUMEKI colorway #4 Edogawa, the tassels emulate hibiscus flowers. To create the main body of the bag, a wide panel of linked double crochet—worked into the spaces between each stitch—is folded crosswise. The high stitch counts on each row expand the color pooling effect, creating a pinstriped look. Narrow side-panel inserts round out the shape.
