The fun thing about the crochet bag and purse patterns is that the end product is nothing like the old crochet bags that grandma made.  Bless grandma’s heart, but her bags looked a bit old fashioned!

For a refresher on crochet stitches, take a look at our page just for that purpose.

Crochet Tote Bag Patterns

Although tote bag patterns weren’t discussed above, these are some of the best!  Everyone needs more tote bags, and the ones found here are truly awesome.

With the use of crochet as the means of creating these tote bags, most of them make perfect market totes.

The La Vie free crochet tote bag pattern from Christaco Design creates a tote bag that is ready for a day at the market, the beach or the park.  Such a summery tote!

The solid bottom of this tote and many others found on this page keeps things from falling out easily and gives the bag some sturdiness.  The La Vie Market Tote has plenty of room for all of the items you want to purchase or carry on a day in the sun. Every crochet market tote bag looks good with a beautiful mesh stitch!

Wizarding World fans will love the unique Luna’s Tote Bag pattern from My Poppet Makes.  The sample cross-body tote bag is crocheted in blue like Luna’s, but it could be made in any color you like!

Luna’s crochet tote bag pattern is not made with the open mesh stitch like most of the totes on this page, which may be preferred by some.

There are many more tote bag patterns that are not worked in an open weave and are sturdy enough for heavier things.  The Library Tote Book Bag is a perfect example of this.

The library tote bag pattern uses a sturdy single crochet stitch and has two wide handles, making it both strong and comfortable to carry.
