WIP, Small Tote Bag

I'm trying to make this bag using Catania cotton and Cannon thread held together, crocheted with a size 6/0 (3.5mm) Tulip hook. I am loving the resulting fabric, it is similar in thickness compared to the 3-strands cotton thread sack bags that I made. A bigger hook would make the crocheting easier, but it looks so much better when the stitches are tight.

  2. Hi Gene, this is quite a simple pattern, but I can see that mine is smaller than the one pictured.
    The first 6 rounds is the bottom part. It had increases at the ends only and makes a flat piece, until you go on crocheting up without increasing ;)
