Granny Square ( Heart) Tote Bag

 This is a lovely granny square tote bag. My first granny square tote bag. Took me a while to perfect this pattern, but it is so worth it. Turns out lovely. I used 8 ply cotton yarn and a 4 mm hook. The written pattern and tutorial video for the 2 granny square is in my earlier post. 


 

The tutorial video : 



First you would have to join those granny square together, in the manner, according the the photo above or the tutorial video. Once it is done, I did 2 rows of single crochet all around the top of the bag, this is optional. Now the bag strap.


Bag Strap Pattern

1) Go to the top of the bag, the side, at the highest point. Here you will find the previous granny square, chain two space part. Start from there, count 5 stitches to the right and 5 to the left. All in the bag strap start with 10 stitches. (Refer to tutorial video). Start with a chain 2, then do double crochet in the next. Do half double crochet in the next 2. Single crochet in the next 2. Half double crochet in the next 2. Double crochet in the next 2. 

2) Now you will be at the end of it. Chain 1 and turn the work. Do double crochet until the end of the row. Repeat the same for as many rows as you need. . Do the same on the other side and both the strap meet in the middle and use a tapestry needle and sew it together. 

3) Sew a bag linen and sew it inside the bag. (refer to the tutorial video). 

Hope you have fun making one. Happy crocheting to you. 

Do refer to the tutorial video for better understanding. The tutorial video is easy to follow, even for beginners. Give it a try.
