Hearts And Stripes Tote Bag Pattern

"This crochet heart tote bag is an easy project and works up in no time. Looking to use your yarn stash? This pattern uses Aran/Worsted weight yarn in small amounts of four colours and is the perfect scrap project. One panel of the tote has a larger heart worked in the tapestry technique. The other panel is stripes with a crochet heart bag charm to follow the theme through. Give this crochet bag as a gift – celebrate your friendship, your girlfriend (or for a birthday) and fill it with favourite things – it’s the perfect size for a book and goodies. I think your daughter/granddaughter would love it too. Or you might like it so much that you want to keep this one for yourself! This free crochet pattern is written in UK and US crochet terms."
