TOTE BAG-FRONT VIEW:
BACK
TOTE BAGS-2 STYLES(SCARF DISPLAYED)
CHEER YOURSELF UP (OR SOMEONE ELSE) by carrying one of these handmade totes!
TOP PIC.- Half Dbl. Croc. large rectangle piece.  I used multi-colored yarn; 2 thin strands of yarn tied together to crochet with.  When it's big enough to suit, fold over length-wise & stitch up with a different color yarn (using your yarn needle).  I just did 2 rows Half DBL. CROC for the handle, attaching on ea. side.
BOTTOM/RIGHT PIC.- Hlf. DBL. CROC. larg. rectangle piece using 2 thin strands of yarn tied together.  I switched to 2 new colors half way through, so back is the color you see at the bottom of the bag.  Sew up EACH side of the piece with your yarn needle (always dbl tack at ea. end).  I had a large string of leather to use as a "handle."  Push it through at each end & DBL. Knot it to hold. (I almost always use 2 thinner yarns tied together for projects such as; tote bags, scarf, hat, or washcloth).  You can use a "thicker" yarn instead of the 2 tied together, if desired.
