There are just some things you can never have enough of and totes fall perfectly into that category.

Cut Rope 

Cut nylon rope in half, making 2 pieces approximately 27 inches long each. Set aside. 

Handles (make 2)  

With C, ch 6, leaving a long starting tail. 

Row 1: Hdc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across. (5 hdc) 

Row 2: Ch 1, turn, hdc in each st across. Repeat row 2 until work measures 32 inches long.  Fasten off. 

Lay 1 piece of rope in center of handle, so that handle extends approximately 2.5 inches past rope  on each end.  

Using a separate piece of yarn for sewing, fold edges of handle around rope and sew together into a  tube, only where it covers the rope. Leave the extra 2.5 inches unseamed at each end. This creates a  flat tab at each end that will be used to attach the handle to the bag.  

Finishing 

Lay bag flat with RS out.  

Place one handle on top of the bag so that it is centered horizontally and the flat tabs overlap the  top of the bag. Use the long tails to sew each flat tab in place.  

Turn bag over and repeat for the other handle, lining it up with the first handle.  Weave in all ends.
