  • In each corner space, work: 2 double crochets, chain 3, 2 double crochets.
  • Continue working around with 1 double crochet in each stitch and the corner pattern in each chain space.
  • Join with a slip stitch to finish the round.

Layout

  • Arrange the 13 granny squares into a cross shape:
  • 5 squares vertically
  • 5 squares horizontally
  • 1 center square where the rows intersect

This forms the base and sides of the tote.

Joining Squares

  • Use a yarn needle and matching yarn to sew squares together one by one.
  • Begin by joining two squares and continue adding until the entire shape is formed.
  • Use stitch markers to secure squares before sewing for alignment.
  • Fold side squares up and stitch along the edges to form the sides and base of the bag.

Crocheting the Top Edge

  • Join yarn at the top edge of the assembled bag.
  • Chain 1, then work 1 single crochet into each stitch around the entire top edge.
  • Optionally, add a second round of single crochets to reinforce and neaten the edge.

Making the Strap
