Summer Breeze Tote Bag - Free Crochet Pattern

Style meets function and versatility in this fun crochet tote bag. I used basic crochet stitches to form the bag's solid, sturdy bottom and also the delicate openwork design. The openwork crochet stitch pattern will be a fun challenge for advanced beginners and it will keep experienced crocheters from losing interest. Use your bag as a crochet project bag, beach bag, or everyday tote bag - customize it to suit your taste by playing around with color, or by adding tassels, poms, and more! Find the free crochet tote bag pattern on Make & Do Crew here, or purchase an ad-free, easily printable PDF here (Bonus stitch chart included in the PDF).

I'm so excited I can finally share with you that I've had the honor of being featured as a guest designer on the Make & Do Crew blog. Jess reached out to the design world this past winter and asked for design submissions for her blog that she could post after her little boy was born. This would allow her to take some time off to spend precious moments with her newborn.

I had the pleasure of meeting Jess in person at a conference in 2018. I was so excited to get to meet and spend time with her. She's just as fun and down to earth in person as she is online so I jumped at the chance to get to work with her and her sister, Jamie.

Thank you to Lion Brand for providing the yarn for this project.

The Yarn

Cotton has always been my go-to fiber for crochet bags and Lion Brand 24/7 was the perfect choice for this project. Available in 24 incredible colors, Lion Brand 24/7 cotton yarn is a worsted-weight, mercerized cotton yarn with a beautiful sheen and fantastic stitch definition. You're sure to find a color combination that fits your taste. You can purchase this yarn HERE on the Lion Brand website. Use Code: STOREWIDE25 to receive 25% off this Mother's Day Weekend!

If you choose to use a yarn with a different fiber content, such as an acrylic like Lion Brand Vanna's Choice, you can certainly do so. Just remember that the acrylic will be stretchier so I would suggest making the straps a tad bit shorter to compensate for that!
