Welcome to Week 1 of the Crochet Bags & Totes Crochet-A-Long! 🧶👜
This week, we’re making the Peaches & Crème Tote—a clean, practical crochet bag that’s fun and easy to make.
If complicated increases and decreases aren’t your favorite, this tote may be the perfect project for you! The bag begins by chaining across the width, then working simple rows of single crochet to create a sturdy rectangular base.
Next, you’ll build the sides using an easy, repeating combination of double crochet stitches and chain spaces. The result is a crochet fabric that is both strong and flexible, making this tote great for everyday use.
The subtle flecks in the yarn add just the right amount of color and depth while keeping the overall design clean and simple.
Featured Yarn
🧶 Peaches & Crème Original Cone
🎨 Color: Panorama
📏 Amount: 1 cone
Suggested Yarn Substitute
🧶 Lily Sugar’n Cream Cone
In this video, I’ll introduce the Week 1 project, share helpful tips for choosing yarn and colors, explain how the bag is constructed, and answer your questions to help you get started.
Whether you’re making your first crochet bag or joining us for the entire Crochet-A-Long, I can’t wait to see what you create!
