We all know that diamonds are a woman's best friend, but we also can't live without shoes and handbags. I don't know about you, but I have different bags and purses for every season. Lighter colors are for spring and summer and darker colors are for fall and winter. My newest favorite is a burgundy handbag with a faded alligator texture. With that said, you can never have too many bags. Terrific Totes is the perfect book to add to your collection.

Within this 48-page book you'll find eight crochet tote bags all with different styles that range from chic to casual. When they say dress to impress, that includes your favorite tote. Each of the bags in this Italian designer collection have a timeless allure using a medium weight cotton yarn. Traditional patterns and fanciful embroideries really complete the look of these designs.

From a small clutch to a roomy tote, you will find a crochet pattern that you will enjoy working up. Whether you're going to the grocery store or a fun shopping day with your girlfriends, there will be a bag that fits you just right.

The Caffe Latte Tote really caught my eye. With its lace-like design and neutral contrasting colors, it truly is a bag that you can use every day. Treble crochet and the cluster stitch are used to work up this pattern. Aside from the design itself, the button closure is nice to have to keep your belongings safe and secure.

When you're looking to add a little something to your bag collection then be sure you check out Terrific Totes; the patterns range from easy to intermediate, but will make you look like a pro.
