A person holding the crochet tote bag made from this pattern is stood facing left with the bag over their shoulder. The bag is mostly yellow with a grey triangle in the bottom right corner.
The model is looking into the tote bag with one of the handles off the shoulder. The stitch on the bag is a tight stitch which makes the bag sturdy.
The tote bag is hanging on the back of a wooden chair that also has some books and a flask on the seat. The background is green foliage with a brown railing.
The tote bag is hanging up against the grey stone wall. The grey triangle in the bottom right corner reaches more than half way up the bag.
The bag is sat open on a wooden table. In the bag is a small grey pocket on the left with a light wooden button, a white reusable cup and a yellow gardening book.
A close up image of the reusable cup on the inside. There is a crocheted cup holder keeping it in place. The title of the yellow gardening is "Companion Planting".
A close up of the main stitch. It shows a tightly worked stitch with a diagonal line to each one. The bottom right of the photo is grey & the top left is yellow.
A flat lay close up of the small grey pocket on the inside of the bag. It is worked up in the same stitch as the main bag and has a wooden button to close.
A close up of the handle. A really professional looking handle with a 90 degree angle from the top grey trim.
Another photo of the inside of the bag from a different angle, showing the reusable cup, the book and the pocket.

Lemona Tote Bag Crochet Pattern with Cup Holder

€5.50

A useful and function tote bag crochet pattern that has a gorgeously smooth diagonal colour change which I'm in love with. It includes a cup holder to secure your reusable cup to one side and features a small pocket for smaller bits and bobs.

I find that standard totes never have pockets for bits and bobs, so I've incorporated some elements in this design to solve these two problems. You know how I love creating useful crochet projects :)
