KristinesCrochets : Crochet Picot Net Tote Bag Written Pattern

Hello everyone!🙂

Today I'm sharing my Picot Net Tote Bag crochet pattern with you. It's perfect for market trips, beach trips, day trips, etc.

This pattern is written for those with basic crochet knowledge.To make this tote bag, you should be familiar with basic crochet stitches and terminology. You should know how to crochet in the round as well as how to work in back and forth rows.

I used Worsted / Aran weight (#4) cord type yarn (you can also use a 3 mm crochet cord instead) and a 4,5 mm crochet hook.

If you prefer to learn by watching, I have a video tutorial below. Or scroll down to view the written pattern!

Happy Crocheting! 😊
