This tote bag is make using t-shirt yarn and a 8 mm hook. The pattern is linen stitch. Linen stitch is a single crochet in one stitch, chain one or two or three, skip one and do a single crochet and repeat all over. I added a pair of strawberry in the middle of the bag.
The tutorial video :
I started with a foundation chain of 24. Do a single crochet (sc) on the 4th chain from the hook. Then chain 1, skip 1 and do a sc on the next. Repeat until end of the row. At the last stitch stitch, do one more set of linen stitch. Now work on the opposite side of the foundation chain.
Sc on the previous chain 1 space, chain 1, skip 1 (skip the previous sc stitch) sc in the next. Repeat until the end of the row. Do one more linen stitch on the last stitch (which is also the first stitch on the foundation chain.
The 2nd row, chain 3, do a sc on the chain 1 space, chain 3 and do a sc on the chain 1 space. Repeat until you come to the end of row 2.
The 3rd row, chain 3, do a sc on the chain 3 space but on the 2nd stitch of the chain 3 space. Repeat all around until you come to the height that you want. You can also change color like mine or you can just continue with the same color.
Once you got the height that you want, use a marker and mark where you are going to make the strap. Refer to video for better understanding. The first few row of the strap I did linen stitch. Instead of doing it all around, I turn my work. When I turn my work, I only chain 1 and sc on the chain 3 space. The following linen stitch, I chain 3. This is to make the side curve.
At the top of the strap (the part for our shoulder) I chain 1 and make 2 sc into the chain space, repeat until the end of the row. The following row, just sc all around until you come to the length that you want.
