Hello! Today, I have for you a simple crochet tote bag tutorial. This is a great first project for beginners or even more experienced crocheters who want to work up a cute, but easy pattern! This bag simple, yet stylish and can go with any outfit! The pattern is also very easy to adjust to make the perfect size bag for anyone.

Tips:
- Use a stitch marker for the first stitch of every round, so it's easier to see
- Tighten your slip stitches to make the seam smaller and less visible
- The chain 1 at the beginning of each round does NOT count as a single crochet
- Pull your loose ends to the inside of the bag and weave them in (or leave them hanging!)
