CROCHET PATTERN Arcadia Tote Bag

by

If you haven’t already noticed I am a sucker for a tote bag, I know I share tote patterns quite a lot, cause they are one of my favorite things to Crochet and use. Totes are so great for gifting too, so many times I am asked where I got my bag from, only to proudly respond with I made it myself. Sometimes I carry a new one around with me and if someone nice and caring-looking asks me, I gift it to them. I recently gave one to a woman who had a screaming child in the checkout line. She had forgotten her reusable bag and she had no hands free to try and carry the shopping as well as wrangle the screaming child. She was so grateful and shocked, it made me smile, it made her smile and even the child stopped screaming. It was win-win for everyone. See, totes can make someone’s day.

This tote pattern can be purchased here via Etsy.
