• Hook: 10mm crochet hook
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Create the Base

Start with a magic ring. This will form the center of your tote bag.

1. R1: Work 6 single crochet (sc) into the magic ring. Pull the ring tight to close.
2. R2: Work 2 sc in each stitch around (12 sts total).
3. R3: (1 sc, 2 sc in next stitch) around (18 sts total).
4. R4: (2 sc, 2 sc in next stitch) around (24 sts total).
5. R5: (3 sc, 2 sc in next stitch) around (30 sts total).
6. Continue increasing in this pattern until you reach 60 stitches.

2. Work the Body

Once you have the base completed, you will start working the body of the tote bag.

1. Work even in single crochet for 20 rounds. This means you will simply crochet one sc in each stitch around without increasing or decreasing.

3. Create the Handles

Now it's time to add the handles to your tote bag.

1. Ch 1 (this does not count as a stitch), sc in the next 10 stitches.
2. Ch 20 (this will form the first handle), skip the next 10 stitches.
3. Sc in the next 20 stitches.
4. Ch 20 (this will form the second handle), skip the next 10 stitches.
5. Sc in the remaining stitches to complete the round.

4. Final Round

To finish off your tote bag, you will work one last round.

1. Sc in each stitch and chain around to create a clean edge.
2. Fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends using a tapestry needle.
