Popcorn Granny Square Crocheted Tote Bag – Free Crochet Pattern

 

This crocheted tote bag uses granny squares and crochet stitches around the grannies. It’s fun and functional! Feel free to play with colors and even the kind of grannies you use! Just make sure the grannies are all the same size.

 

When my kids were small I made two of these, one in pink and one in blues for my son. They made the perfect bags for trips to grandma’s house. Each kid had his or her bag with a favorite toy, clothes and blanket.
