Wasn't real sure this qualified as an original pattern... so I'm posting it here.

 

Granny Tote Bag

 

 

Hook size – I

Yarn - Red Heart Super Saver

Granny square size – 7 to 8”

 

This particular tote was made with a “Daisy Flower Charity Square” by KrochetKrystal.

 

I first created the Daisy Square… then made a solid granny square of the same size.

Bordered them both with dc in a variegated yarn that was to be the sides, bottom and handle of the tote.

Place the granny squares right sides together … single crochet them together using variegated yarn…starting in one top corner …down to the bottom… across the bottom … back up the other side to the top. Turn bag right side out…

ch 3 …dc in ea st…one row around top….join to ch 3 with sl st….

ch 2… hdc in next 7 dc…. ch 15 … sk next 15 dc

hdc in next 14 dc…. ch 15…. sk next 15 dc

hdc in last 7 dc… join with sl st to top of ch 2

**ch 2 … hdc in 7 hdc…. dc in ea 15 ch st…. hdc in next 14 hdc… dc in ea 15 ch st… hdc in last 7 hdc… join with sl st to top of ch 2**

Repeat from ** to ** tie off.

Join contrasting color with sl st in last st of variegated color…

ch 1… sc in ea st around … join with sl st in ch 1… tie off…. Weave in ends.

**Join with another contrasting color in any st of inside handle with sc…

ch 1… sc in each st around … join with sl st in ch 1… tie off.. weave in ends.**

**Repeat for other handle inside.
