Notes:

This pattern is written in US Terminology and Imperial Measurements.

I highly recommend watching the video tutorial above before starting.

This pattern is written in crochet shorthand. Example: "SC 1" means to single crochet in the next stitch and "SC 30" means to single crochet into the next 30 stitches.

Chain 1 (CH 1) at the beginning of each round does not count as a stitch.

Pattern is worked in the 3rd loop on the wrong side (inside) of the pattern. This technique is often referred to as “Camel stitch.”

On round 16, be sure the CH isn’t twisted before reattaching to bag.

The straps of tote can be customized to desired length but keep in mind the yarn will stretch and lengthen over time.
