This triple crochet tote pattern is worked in joined rounds using basic stitches including the Chain, Single, Triple, and Slip!
The single-loop handle fits perfectly into one hand, making this crochet bag very easy to carry!
The triple crochet tote – also called the Triple Stitch Tote – is 13.5” tall by 5.25” wide (11″ around), which is perfect for holding a water bottle, produce, glass jars while you’re grocery shopping, or a gift like wine, candles or flowers.
Solid stitches alternate every round, creating fabric that is sturdy on the single rounds and flexible on the triple rounds.
The single-loop handle is a unique design that makes this bag really easy to carry.
Also, a tiny opening is made opposite the loop handle, designed as a way to easily close the top of the bag by looping the handle through it whenever you need.
This triple crochet tote pattern is a great pattern to work up because:
- Tote bags are quick and easy projects to make.
- You can use most weight 4 yarns you already have in your stash!
- This project works great with cotton yarns, plant-based fibers, or acrylics!
- You’ll get to practice a lot of crochet skills: joined rounds, stitch tension, gauge & size, chain, single, and triple crochet stitches, finishing techniques & more!
