Crochet pattern for a lovely-textured tote bag / handbag / purse.

ALESSANDRA cotton crochet thread size 5: Color 253 (300 g)

I LOVE this bag. I think it is a very unique design, and it may be my very favorite one, so far.

I call it “Botswana Bag” because I crocheted most of it while on a two week trip to Botswana, Africa. We drove all over Botswana, and when I wasn’t looking up to take in the incredible wildlife and landscape I was crocheting away on it.

The bag consists of 16 squares. Each square is made by working an overlay pattern in double crochet onto a double crochet grid.

Thank you for checking out my Botswana Bag crochet pattern!

This bag is not lined. It measures approx. 11” wide, approx. 15” long (without straps) and approx. 25” long (with straps).

This crochet tote bag pattern is suitable for an intermediate crocheter. It has been tested for clarity and accuracy by a professional crochet designer. In addition, it contains step-by-step how-to photos. I am confident this pattern will make for a happy crochet experience (and a very useful bag).

I am available to answer questions, should you have any.

Thanks again for stopping by.
