Modern Tote bag
Crochet your next project bag! The Modern Tote is large enough to fit many skeins and WIPs. The pattern is easy and the result is a stunning bag with lovely details. The bottom edging, the finished top edge and the addition of eyelets set this bag above all others. Unsure of how to use eyelets? The bag can be made without as instructions for crocheted strap supports is included.
