Crochet Plastic Bag Shape Shopping Tote/Tutorial for beginners

Описание: Learn how to crochet a plastic-shape bag shopping tote with foldable sides — a durable and reusable crochet bag for everyday shopping. This step-by-step tutorial is beginner-focused and shows you how to create a bag that can carry much more than it looks!

This project is inspired by the shape of classic plastic shopping bags but made with sturdy crochet stitches. Perfect for groceries, farmers markets, or as a stylish eco-friendly tote.

I used a full skein of StyleCraft Bamboo and Cotton DK which is a double knitting blend of 40% Cotton and 60% bamboo, it weighs 100g and it has a meterage of 250 meters. Can be machine washable at 30 degrees.

You can also make it in just 1 color or multicolored if you want to use the stash you already have.


✨ *Materials You'll Need:*
Fine or Medium weight cotton yarn
3 mm crochet hook
Scissors & 3 stitch markers

🌱 *Why Make This Bag?*

Great stash-busting project
