Make one of these pretty Ice Cream Tote bags, perfect for carrying all your stuff to the beach or market. With different coloured yarn this pattern would fit anyone’s style.
Hello and welcome back to my blog, if you new here welcome. Today I’m sharing a cute fun pattern - my Ice Cream Tote Bag! That I released way back in 2016. This bag is super simple in construction as is made up in one bIg circular pattern.
Pattern:
Materals, I used natural craft cotton in colours Cream and Pink and a 5m hook. Any cotton yarn will work with right size hook.
Abbreviations - UK terms
ch- chain stitch
Tr- triple stitch
slst- slip stitch
Decrease triple crochet
Notes, chain 2 at the beginning of each round, this does not count has a stitch.
To begin ch3, work 12 tr into first ch from hook, join with sl st into first st. (12tr)
2 - ch2, 2 tr in each st around, join with sl st into first st. (24tr)
3 - ch2, 1tr in next st, 2tr in the next st around, repeat pattern, join with sl st into first st. (36tr)
4 - ch2, tr in the next 2 st, 2tr in the next, repeat around, join with sl st into first st. (48tr)
5 -
ch2, tr in the next 3 st, 2tr in the next, repeat around, join with sl st into first st.
Changing stitch pattern here:
Do not slip stitch to the top of each starting ch, put your hook in the first ch1 space of each round.
6 - ch2 does not count as a st, tr ch1 in each st around.
7-26, tr ch1 in each ch1 space around.
This is where I changed colour.
27 - ch2, tr in each ch 1 space.
28 - ch2, tr between each tr of last round.
29 - ch2, repeat round 28. Do not fasten off.
Handles, worked in rows.
Row 1 - ch3 counts has first stitch, 1 tr in the next 9 st (10)..
Row 2 - ch2 turn, tr decrease in the next 2 st, 1 tr in next 6 stitches , tr decrease in the last 2 st.
Row 3 - ch 2 turn, tr decrease in the next 2 st, 1 tr in next 4 stitches, tr decrease in the last 2 st.
Row 4-12, ch2 turn, 1 tr into each st to end of row, turn (carry on if you want longer straps).
Now fold your bag in half, to detemine where to start the strap on the other side, repeat pattern for first strap.
To finish I crocheted the 2 sides of the strap together on the wrong side.
Sew up all your lose ends. Bag finished
Hope the pattern makes sense and your happy with your finished bag.
