Lacy Crochet Tote Bag

Materials:

Approx. 300 yards of worsted weight cotton yarn
Size H/8 (5.0 mm) crochet hook
Tapestry needle for weaving ends
Scissors

Gauge:

To ensure your stitches match the pattern, work a swatch of 10 double crochet stitches across and 10 rows high. The gauge should measure approximately 4 inches x 4 inches. Adjust your hook size if necessary to match this gauge.

Abbreviations:

ch: chain
dc: double crochet
sl st: slip stitch
sk: skip
sp: space

Instructions:

Body:

Start with a foundation chain of 35. This will create your bag's width.
Row 1: In the 4th ch from the hook, make 1 dc. Then, continue to make 1 dc in each ch across (33 dc total). Turn your work.
Row 2: Ch 3 (counts as first dc), then in the next st, *make 1 dc, ch 1, sk 1 st*. Repeat from * to * until the last stitch. Make 1 dc in the last stitch (edge stitch). Turn your work.
Row 3: Ch 3 (counts as first dc), make 1 dc in the next ch-1 space. Then, *ch 1, sk the next dc, 1 dc in the next ch-1 space*. Repeat across, ending with 1 dc in the last ch-1 space. Turn your work.
Repeat Rows 2 and 3 until the piece measures approximately 16 inches or until you have completed about 20 rows.

Creating the base:

After reaching the desired height, to form the base, chain 1 for the next row. Now make 1 dc in the same space, then continue making 1 dc in every st until the end of the row. Turn your work.

Continue working this way until the bag measures approximately 20 inches from the base to the top edge.

Finishing:

Fasten off your yarn, leaving a long tail for sewing.
Using the tapestry needle, weave in all ends securely.
If desired, you can block your bag to shape it better. Lay it flat and spray with a little water, gently stretching it into the desired shape.

Optional Variations:

Add a lining to the bag for extra sturdiness.
Use a contrasting color for the handles by creating a chain and attaching it to the bag with slip stitches.

This lacy crochet tote bag is a delightful project for crafters of all levels. Once finished, you can proudly showcase your hard work while enjoying its practical use!
