How Do I Crochet the Camellia Tote Bag?
This simple crochet tote bag pattern by Stephanie Jessica Lau features different sections worked with different stitches using different hooks. With that being said, you may say it’s not that simple after all. You have to trust me, though, it’s easier than it seems to be!
The base of the bag is worked in continuous rounds with single crochet stitches. After that, you will split your work into four sections that will build the walls. The two side panels that use half double crochets and two middle accent panels worked with the Single Crochet Columns Stitch.
Finally, you will continue to crochet the side panels to form the bag’s handles and finish them with a slip stitch edging.
What Yarn Do I Need for the Camellia Tote Bag?
For this crocheted tote bag project, be sure to use a durable medium-weight yarn. The designer recommends choosing 100% mercanized cotton such as Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton. It’s easy to clean and has a beautiful sheen. You will need 6 skeins to complete your bag. You can go for the Camel color used by Stephanie or use any other shade that you love.
