This Hugs & Kisses Tote Bag was originally created for the Nautical Twilight Crochet Cruise, but it was noticed by the team at Yarnspirations, and they requested it for their website.
So, as of today, this is my first officially published design!
Several cruisers have already really enjoyed crocheting this bag and I have gotten quite a bit of positive feedback so far. The tote will hook up fairly quickly and easily with Bernat Maker Home Dec yarn in the pattern of Hugs & Kisses that many of you are already familiar with here The Crochet Crowd.
I really want to thank the community so much for your support. I couldn't have done it without all you!

Crochet Cable Bag Pattern
Crochet this stunning Crochet Cable Bag using Caron Cotton Cakes. This pattern is easy to master for the intermediate level who can follow the diagram for the cables. Daniel can fix us up with a diagram which is a lot easier to follow than the written instructions.
Unfortunately, with cable work, written words can be so confusing but the diagram shows the way like a GPS for your cables.

Criss Cross Crochet Tote Bag
Put wasted time to great use in front of the TV with this easy Crochet Criss Cross Bag pattern. The pattern is so easy, it's scary. My yarn of choice was Caron Cotton Cakes and this bag measures 13" wide by 12" tall without the handles. I have designed the handles long enough to go over your shoulder with ease.

Do you think Lily Sugar’n Cream Cotton Yarn would work? I'm thinking a beach totes and easy multi washing. I made bibs for my granddaughter and the more they were washed, the softer they got. And I'm thinking ready sand flow.

Any cotton should work, you just want cotton so that it doesn't stretch cotton holds it's shape better. I've used the Handicraft and it's been fin so I'm sure the Lily Sugarn'n Cream would work wonderfully.
