Originally designed for a child heading “off to Grandma’s” with favorite books and treasures in tow, this tote can easily be adapted to suit your own needs. Whether you are looking for a project bag, shopping tote, computer bag, or everyday carryall, the included inspiration ideas will help you customize it to fit your lifestyle.

Constructed using 100% acrylic yarn, the bag is both durable and washable, making it ideal for everyday use. The bag itself is worked in alternating linked double crochet rows and sc rows. Decorative colorwork is added after the bag is completed, allowing you to personalize the finished piece with ease. The bag takes 400 yds (366 m) for the body of the bag; the pocket takes 32 yds (30 m) of a contrasting color and each row of decorative stitching takes 30 in (76 cm) of worsted weight yarn. If desired, directions are given to add fishing line to the handles for extra strength.
