Hi friends! Hope you enjoy the video. I had a lot of fun making these summer tote bags and plan on making more. The yarn I purchased only had limited colors but I do have a link in the description box to another brand that I'll be using next time. So many colors to choose from! It's also a mercerized cotton but made by Lion Brand. Are you ready for summer? 🏖🤩

Definitely a bag I can use. Thank you. Love your kitty help. Everything comes out better with a kitty to inspect it all.

This is the most easy and fun crochet project that i have ever done! I use it as a bag to carry my yarns while traveling❤

[DSBSCORNER]

I am working on making two right now, one with thick yarn, one with thin yarn, one is going to be for school and the other is going to be for sleepovers! I think that you did a amazing job with explaining how to do this and I'm so glad that you did the tutoral, one of my friends made this, and sent me this video! Thank you so much for this tutorial!

[sharonolsen]

[SandraB]

Thank you for this tutorial. I finished my first bag and started the second one immediately. So fast and easy to make. I guess there will be a few more of them.

O my goodness golly gracious I can't wait to get started on this project...I do believe this is the easiest project to work and it doesn't look like it will take a lot of time to complete!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you Roz!!!! 😊😊😊❤❤❤
Hi there Atlas and Biscuit!!!

[erikabadger]

This is one of my favorite crochet tutorials I’ve ever followed! I found the instructions to be very clear and easy to follow and the timestamps are a huge help when trying to make another one. I hope my friends and family like mesh bags, because now everyone’s getting one for the holidays!

This was the first crochet project I've finished! It was super easy to follow and also easy to adjust thanks to your tips. I ended up making a smaller bag with a longer strap, so it's more of a cross body bag instead of a tote. I love it! :)

Great tutorial! ♥️ the bag & your "helpers" Atlas & Biscuit! 😻
