Crochet Strawberry Tapestry Tote Bag

 This is a medium size bag with linen and zip on top. You can make it smaller or even bigger. Just add more rows on the foundation chain. The strawberry pattern is in a multiple of 14. I started with a chain 29 and end up with 84 stitches in the end of the bag base and I get 6 strawberries in each row. 


The tutorial video : 



The bag base 

I used a darker color for the base (optional). Chain 29. Single crochet (sc) on the 2nd stitch from the hook (add a marker), sc next 26 stitches, sc 4 on the last stitch. By now already turn back work. Now sc next 26 stitches, 3 sc into the same stitch as the first stitch (the one with the marker).

On the marker stitch, do 2 sc in one (inc) and add a marker on the 1st stitch. Sc next 26 stitches, inc on the next 4 stitches, sc next 26 stitches, inc in the remaining 3 stitches.

Do inc in the next 2 starting from the marker stitch. Sc next 26 stitches, inc in the next 8, sc next 26 stitches, inc in the balance 6 stitches.

In general it means that the length, in my case is always 26 stitches and the 2 ends continue to do increase, from 4 to 8 then to 16. So if you want a bigger bag with a bigger base, just do increase in the same manner. 

I stop at 84 stitches all around. Now to start the tapestry strawberry, I used white (yellowish white), red and green. Below I attached the diagram of 1 strawberry. Up to you how you want to space it around. You can get a piece of paper with grid boxes or you can get a software or excel file to draw your strawberry. Maybe you can just follow my lead (my pattern) in the tutorial video. 

The Strawberry pattern - just a simple strawberry pattern or you can search for more pattern online. Make sure you plan everything before start crocheting. Hope you have fun doing it.
