Ever since the wintertime, I knew that as soon as spring and summer came around that I wanted to have a bright colored tote-style bag for running errands, and using while riding around on my bike. For a while now, I knew what shape and size I wanted the bag to be, but just couldn't decide on what stitch to use. I fell down the crochet YouTube rabbit hole and discovered a new stitch while watching a tutorial for a blouse and immediately fell in love. The stitch pattern is essentially worked by making alternating increases and decreases using double crochets, and the overall effect is a very textured fabric that is a lot of fun to work up. This pattern comes with written instructions, step-by-step pictures, and exclusive video tutorials to help you along the way. This pattern in particular also comes with an exclusive video tutorial on how to line the inside of your bag to prevent it from stretching out and ensuring it lasts you for many years to come!
