In this series, we will dive deeper into the practice of manifestation and explore the power of making manifesting a collective experience. Manifestation is not just an individual endeavor; it becomes even more powerful when we come together as a community, supporting and inspiring one another along the way. By joining forces, we amplify our manifestation energy and create a space where dreams become reality. Today, I invite you to join me in harnessing the power of collective manifestation.

Crochet a tote bag

Crochet totes became popular among crafters long time ago.

Every beginner crocheter would love to work on a crochet bag. Totes are easy compared with all the other projects. 

How to start a crochet tote as a beginner?

If you know the basics of crochet, it is not a hard game.

There are several methods to follow.

You will need 

  • Measuring tape
  • Tapestry needle
  • Hook 
  • Yarn 
  • Stitch markers
Here is the simplest way I have experienced to crochet a tote.

First thing first is consider what measurement you need. 

  • Make a chain long enough for the size of your preferred width

  • Single crochet in the 2nd row

  • Before starting the 3rd row, join both ends of your worked piece so that now you have a round band. Now you will be working on rounds, not by rows. (Make sure the round is not twisted while joining.

  • Put a Stitch marker at the beginning of the round. Single crochet all around the round(better if you can count to avoid crooked work?

  • Work on Single crochets until you have the preferred height of the base. 

  • Moving from base to the body of the tote.

  • Choose Any texture pattern you prefer or just you may work on half double or double or trebble crochet stitches

  • After finishing the base, work behind the Single crochet stitches(of the base) to start the body.

  • Continue until you have the height.

  • It would be better to do few rounds of Single crochets at the end of the circumference .

  • Measure and crochet the handle.

  • Turn your work into the wrong side

  • Sew the base with help of Tapestry needle. 

  • Sew the angles of the base. 

  • Turn 

  • That's it. The tote is ready.

This method can only be used for square or rectangular bags.

There are several other methods which you can do like circular etc.
