Once again, thank you for the bountiful affections and responses to the yellow Giant Shell Stitch Beach Tote pattern and the Wide Brim Beach Hat pattern I shared in Craft Passion recently (if you happened to miss out the pattern, click the respective links to get the free pattern). While writing this Blue Diamond Stitch Oversized Tote crochet pattern, I have been getting inquiries asking for its crochet pattern.  Summer is soon to arrive and I ought to get this beautiful oversized tote crochet pattern shared as soon as possible, here it is, hopes to see you crochet it too.

We had a wonderful time during our beach vacation last December. Sitting on the deck, looking out to at the sea while waiting for the shuttle to bring us back to our in-water villa at the Maldives.

My daughter requested this set of Arctic Blue beach hat and tote for this beach vacation, she loves it so much! I am a happy mom with a happy daughter and a happy vacation. What else can I ask more? My life is completed with all the loves around, including those from you. Thank you!

oversized bag pattern

As a beach bag, I purposely made this oversized tote without any lining; just in case if the sands get into the bag, we can easily shake them off. However, you may add fabric lining to this oversized tote and don’t have to worry that your items might fall out from the holes between the crochet stitches. Check out my popular crochet pattern of raffia tote that I shared on how to add a lining to the bag.

Happy crochet and enjoy the process with a smile 😊.

Finishing Up

Notes

Always pull the slst (slip stitch) at the end of the round tight to make it as small as possible as it is not counted as a stitch. However, the slst as the beginning of the round is crochet with normal tension.

Depending on the speed and hours you are spending on the project, the total time needed is only an approximation.

    Hello again with a question regarding the base. So far on rounds 4, 5 and 6 I have ended up 3 stitches short. I see that we are increasing 12 stitches each row, however the 3 dc stitches in same stitch equal 15 stitch increases. I’m hoping you can clarify or add some insight to my dilemma? Thanks again!

      It seems like you have missed out some stitches but I am not sure where it is, the pattern is correct and I have it check over and over again. That’s weird.
      3 dc stitches in the same stitch is a 2 sts increment, just in case you thought that it is 3 sts increment. Hope this helps.

    How long and wide should the base be when finished with round 8?

    Thank you!

      Different type of yarn has different weight, so if you are using other yarn, please take the total length as a reference. It might not be accurate so buy more to spare rather than running a few trips to the shop. You can always buy from Craft Passion online shop and we deliver worldwide.
