Product Description
Beach Please Summer Tote Crochet Pattern
When finished, this bag measures approx. 16 inches wide and 12 inches tall (when laying flat - not including the handles). The generous size makes a perfectly sized bag for all of your adventures - day trips, shopping, beach bag, splash park, picnic, etc.
This crochet pattern is easy to follow and intermediate beginner-friendly, but still fun for more experienced crocheters. I hope you enjoy making this bag as much as I did!
Materials: • Bulky weight yarn – I used Bernat Maker Home Dec yarn for this bag. See the gauge in the pattern for yarn substitutions. • 6 mm crochet hook. • Yarn needle for sewing pieces together and weaving in ends.

What Is Being Made
This pattern produces a structured crochet tote bag with sufficient capacity for summer necessities. The design incorporates a main color with one or two accent colors for visual interest and customization options. The bag pictured in the original pattern was created using Bernat Maker Home Dec yarn in Clay as the primary color, with Aqua and Woodberry as accent colors options.
Crochet Techniques and Stitches
While the specific stitch details are referenced in the full pattern document, this intermediate-level project employs fundamental crochet techniques suitable for crafters with basic to intermediate experience. The pattern construction allows for customization through color work and accent placement, making it an engaging project for developing crochet skills.
Materials Required
- Yarn: Bulky weight yarn (#5 weight) in a main color and one to two accent colors. Alternatives include doubled strands of DK weight or thinner worsted-weight (#4) yarn. The original pattern used Bernat Maker Home Dec yarn (317 yards per 250-gram skein), requiring approximately ¾ of one skein for the main color with minimal yardage needed for accent colors.
- Crochet Hook: 6mm size crochet hook
Yarn Weight and Substitution
This pattern calls for chunky bulky weight yarn, which creates a quick-working, substantial finished product. Crafters are encouraged to check gauge measurements when substituting yarns to ensure the finished bag dimensions match expectations, preventing unexpected size variations in the completed tote.
