Paint the plain white tote bag with colorful raffia yarns. I used Chocolate, White, Sea Blue, Daffodil, Orange and Kraft yarns for this spring/summer tone striped tote.
Embellish the tote bag with fall leaf and Fox charm. The fall leaf crochet pattern is available here, while the Freddy the fox sewing pattern is here. You may buy the leather Freddy the Fox here.
A quick bag to lug on when you are out for a coffee, just dunk in a book or your WIP craft and you are good to go. Enjoy your ME-TIME, relax and re-energize.
I am trying to follow your instructions but am not sure of what I’m doing. I feel like I am crocheting from the back side of the piece on every other round (after I slip stitch, chain 1 and turn). Is that the correct procedure? Is there a reason for not continuing in the same direction on each round?
You may continue in one direction but you seam line (the slst you are making at the end of every line) with tilt away to the right (assuming you are right-handed).
In round 2, it states: ssc, 2ssc, ssc in next 26 sts. I’m not sure what 2ssc means. Would I do one ssc, then 2ssc in the next stitch, then ssc in the next 26? And going forward, wherever it says 2ssc, does that mean 2ssc in the SAME stitch? Thanks for the clarification.
2ssc means make 2 ssc stitches in the stitch.
Is there a video how to crochet that bag?
What do you mean by paint the plain white tote bag with colorful raffia yarns? Thank you!
It is just a way of saying by using colorful raffia yarn to crochet the same pattern as the plain white tote.
es precioso, gracias
