This pattern from Knits N’ Knots (Janine Myska) is an absolute gem. As an intermediate crocheter, I found the instructions clear and easy to follow, allowing me to create a stylish and practical tote bag with ease.
One of the things I loved most about this pattern is the use of two strands of yarn, which not only adds durability but also creates a lovely textured fabric. The combination of basic stitches and granny squares adds visual interest to the bag, making it a modern and chic accessory for any outfit.
The customizable size options were also a great feature, allowing me to choose between a regular or large tote based on my preferences and needs. I opted for the regular size, and it turned out to be the perfect size for carrying my daily essentials.
