Vagabond Tote

Crochet Terminology: US and UK Terms are included.

The Vagabond Tote was designed to put those leftover bits and pieces of yarn to good use. Dig through your scrap yarn stash, choose your colours and create a tote that is uniquely yours.

The bag features a simple filet mesh base and includes written instructions in both US and UK crochet terminology, with photographs throughout.

The Strap

The sample shown uses a macramé strap. Instructions for making the macramé strap are not included in the pattern, but a source for the method used is provided.

The pattern also includes basic instructions for a simple crochet strap if you prefer to crochet your own.
