We have two free patterns for fantastic crochet tote bags for shopping and carrying items. The crochet market tote bag can also serve as a crochet project bag. It's a decent size.
The yarns selected for the bags are Bernat Maker Splash and Caron Cotton Cakes. Both yarns are durable and best suited for this type of usage.
Crochet Market Tote Bag
This is an easy-level Crochet Market Tote featuring Caron Cotton Cakes. Remember, Caron Cotton Cakes are exclusive to Michaels Stores.
This pattern is on the ball band of the yarn. It is a simplistic bag that will take several hours to make. It is a perfect, no-nonsense project without a lot of thought to it. It took me realistically about 5 hours to make this bag.

Crochet Out & About Tote
The Crochet Out & About Tote was developed in 2025 by Yarnspirations. It uses the latest extension yarn from Bernat Maker to Bernat Maker Splash yarn. The bag takes just over 2 hours to make and is very satisfying to complete.

The tutorial sample was created in the colour called Concrete. I'm obsessed with how much I love the colouring and the ease of the pattern, too.
