Aligned Cobble Stitch Anytime Tote Crochet Pattern
There are just some things you can never have enough of and totes fall perfectly into that category. I always like to have extra totes around for shopping, going to the beach, taking drinks and snacks with me while I watch Noelle at her gymnastics competitions and taking my latest crochet project with me wherever I go.
This crocheted tote is a perfect size to stash towels, magazine, lunch or whatever you want to fill it with. The tighter stitch pattern means you don’t have to worry about losing hooks, pencils or other small items out the sides. If you’re looking for the perfect anytime tote, this is definitely it.
