Crochet Grocery Tote Bag – The inspiration behind the writing of the grocery tote pattern was from my many visits to my supermarket and not having a handy bag to put my bits and pieces in, but you can use it for anything not just the groceries.
You can change the size by adding more rows if you wish.
Crochet Grocery Tote – Written in UK English format, this grocery tote can be used to carry all things, practical and useful for the beach, fun shopping, picnics etc.
Make it for Christmas gifts.
