Crossbody bags *pattern*

The pattern that I'll be sharing is for these bags...

I've tested the pattern, but if you find any problems or have any problems, feel free to let me know!

ch 45
row 1: hdc in 3rd ch from hook across
row 2-30: ch 2, turn, hdc crochet across. at the end of row 30, tie off

You should be left with 1 big piece like this...

Join yarn on one of the shorter sides, and continue below

1: sc approx 30 across the short side    
2: ch 1, turn and sc decrease across
3: ch 1, turn, 2 sc in each sc decrease across
*repeat for short side on opposite side*

fold bag in half, make sure the short sides are lined up evenly, sl st through both pieces to close up sides

after joining yarn, continue with a series of slip stitches to close up sides. When done, repeat on opposite side as well

flip bag inside out so that the sl sts are inside of the bag.  You should be left  with this...

straps
ch 100 (more or less for a shorter or taller person)
row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook
row 2: chain 3, triple crochet across
row 3: ch 1, sc across and tie off

attach straps to inside of the bag

From this point on you can add fabric, a zipper, a snap...anything you'd like.

 I'd love to see your finished work, so please feel free to email me pictures so I can feature your work on my blog!

My Crochet Tote *pattern*

This is an original crochet tote design by me. These are one of my favorite types of bags to make, they're really easy too.

Pattern
Created by Brittany for Creative Me

Hook I
Finished size: about 13 inches wide and 11 inches tall (not including straps)
Gauge really isnt important for this project, more of personal preference

Abbreviations
ch- chain
sc- single crochet
rnd(s)- round(s)
nxt-next
sk- skip
st- stitch

Ch 45
rnd 1: sc across starting in 2nd ch from hook
rnd 2: ch 1, turn, sc across

**When you come to the end of a row, ch 2 and sc down the bottom side of the chain**
Keep going until you complete 6 rounds.

rnd 7-8: sc around. When you come to the corners, 3 sc in each of the four corners. (to form the corners of the bag) *only do the corners for rnds 7 & 8 only!!*

rnd 9-40: 1 sc in every st around.

**If you'd like to incorporate stripes in your project do not cut the yarn to add new color. When you're ready to switch colors, make a slip stitch with color 1(grey) then join in color 2 (pink). *Make sure you pull color 1 tightly, then continue to sc around with color 2 until you are ready to change colors again.* Leave color 1 attached (keeping the  ball of yarn inside the bag and out of the way of color 2) as you crochet around with color 2. When you're ready to switch back to color 1, take the yarn from color 1 and bring up to do a slip stitch into color 2. Put the ball of yarn from color 2 inside the bag and continue to sc around with color 1 .** For a better explanation, click here

Try to switch colors at the same spot every time to keep to color change looking neat from the outside of the bag.

rnd 41: 1 sc in the nxt 20 st, ch 50, sk 20. 1 sc in nxt 39 st, ch 50, sk 20, 1 sc in next 18 st.
rnd 42-44: 1 sc in every st around.
finish off

You can also experiment with lining the bag with fabric. You just have to measure the bag, then measure out the right amount of fabric, use pins to hold the fabric in place, and sew!
