This may be one of my favorite projects ever.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A month or so ago I came across the Moroccan Market Tote pattern<\/a> by Tamara Kelly on Moogly.com<\/a>. \u00a0It’s a free pattern and I found the colors striking. \u00a0Plus, I had a variety of cotton yarn leftover from various projects in colors I thought might work.<\/p>\n

But\u2026 as usually happens\u2026 I then decided my colors didn’t work and went and bought new yarn.<\/em><\/p>\n

…<\/em><\/p>\n

Anyway!<\/p>\n

I thought this bag would be much smaller but really it’s pretty gigantic. \u00a0Check it out.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Realizing it was too big for my kids I needed to figure out what I was going to use it for. \u00a0Turns out it was about the same size as the old tote I was using for my crochet projects. \u00a0And, you know? A crochet bag should be a crocheted bag right?? \u00a0Besides\u2026 I just think it’s adorable!<\/p>\n

I made mine in cotton yarn. \u00a0I also lined it – which was a first for me. \u00a0You’ll have to ignore my sloppy, first-timer stitching and the messy machine stitching around the pocket.<\/p>\n

Let’s focus on the positives\u2026<\/p>\n

…super cute cotton fabric<\/p>\n

\u2026I made pockets! \u00a0(4 of them actually!)<\/p>\n

\u2026I got fancy and divided one of the pockets so it would hold pencils or crochet hooks<\/p>\n

\u2026I learned to use the blanket stitch rather than just a whip stitch.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The lining didn’t fit exactly but it’s close enough for me and I learned a lot in the process.<\/p>\n

Thank you Tamara for an adorable pattern! \u00a0I’m so tickled with my new crochet tote!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
