I’m thrilled to announce the release of my latest crochet pattern, the “Shell We Tote?” crochet bag! This design is perfect for those who love the beach, appreciate modular construction, and enjoy the satisfaction of a join-as-you-go project.
About the “Shell We Tote?”
The “Shell We Tote?” crochet bag pattern combines square and rectangle motifs to create a beautiful and functional accessory. The modular construction not only makes the process engaging but also allows you to see your progress as you go. The self-striping Knit Picks Brava Worsted yarn, with its serene green and blue hues, accentuates the unique modular design, mirroring the tranquil ebb and flow of ocean tides.
To complete this stylish bag, I chose elegant bamboo handles that add a touch of natural charm. Whether you’re heading to the beach, going out for a casual day, or simply need a tote to brighten your everyday look, the “Shell We Tote?” is your perfect companion.
