Mercato Crossbody Tote
"The Mercato Crossbody Tote is ideal for traveling, a day at the mercato {market}, or a playdate at the park. It’s comfortable, and stays out of the way, but is where you need it. Market totes are such great summer makes. I gifted this one to my son’s teacher, and she loved it. It’s fast, easy and doesn’t take much yarn-perfect for gifts. I’ve crocheted a bunch of these this year and gifted all of them. I definitely should make a few for myself. I always need a nice shopper ready to go in the car, or another bag to hold yarn!"
