The bottom of the Manhattan Market tote (below) is worked as a flat circle and then uses the waistcoat stitch which creates a super tight fabric. You can probably see some similarities in the design of these two bags! This Palmetto Tote has a much lighter, open stitch work at the bottom and less bulky handles. I’m thinking I’d like to make a top with the Griege color.īelow: Remember the Manhattan Market Tote? It’s such an awesome bag to haul things around. The label includes a photo of a knit sweater that’s also really cute. If you’ve never tried a tape yarn, I definitely recommend Rewind.

If you know how to single crochet, chain and count stitches, you can make this. It also takes a nod from my Manhattan Market Tote Crochet Pattern (here) as well as some of the other totes that I’ve made in the past. The inspiration for this tote comes from natural baskets and woven bags. In fact, this bag almost has the look of raffia or grass, but it’s as soft as can be and doesn’t break the way that raffia does. I can imagine making many more bags and even tops with the colors available as they are subtle and beautiful. The yarn was just recently released from Lion Brand ( it’s called Rewind Tape Yarn) and I LOVE THE COLORS (see them all here). I’ve named it the “Palmetto” because the little tassels remind me of palm fronds. □ Update: Lion Brand has made this into a kit that you can purchase HERE and the printable, ad-free pattern is now available for purchase in my Etsy shop HEREĪ girl can never have enough bags (lol) and this “Palmetto Market Tote” is super simple and cute for warm weather use.

I’m thrilled to be bringing this pattern to you and so thankful for the support for this project from Lion Brand. Rewind comes in so many beautiful colors, I kind of want to make a Marlowe in each one. The tape yarn really makes the puff stitches pop. ![]() I’d always wanted to try it and I was shocked at how soft it is. The Rewind Yarn from Lion Brand was perfect for this tote. Since the puff are worked into the stitches two rows below it creates a gorgeous texture that is super sturdy without any holes. When I discovered the braided puff stitch I knew it would be perfect. I didn’t want the bag to get too stretched out as crochet tends to do. It took me a bit of trial and error to find the perfect stitch that looked woven, but would also be sturdy. ![]() When I came across a photo on Pinterest of a giant woven tote I was inspired to create my own in crochet. I can not resist them! I especially love giant ones that can carry ALL THE THINGS. I don’t know about you, but I LOVE tote bags. ![]()
