A Large Beach Bag To Carry All Of Your Essentials

Finding a bag large enough to carry all of your beach stuff on vacation, is not always easy.

If like me you have to carry your husband’s beach towel too, you need a huge beach tote!

I like to take quite a bit to the beach, including towels, sunscreen, water bottles, snacks, etc.

An Easy Level Crochet Pattern

This crochet beach bag is great for advanced beginners because if you are relatively new to crochet, learning how to crochet a flat circle is something you will eventually need to know.

This project will show you how to create a flat circle.

You can make the bag in all one color or follow the pattern for the four-color changes.

How To Crochet A Circle

The bag is made in three pieces, two circle pieces for the front and back, which are identical, and a side/bottom panel.

The two circular panels of the bag are created by joining the yarn in the round and using single crochet.

The circle grows through a series of increases on every alternate round.

The pattern does involve counting and checking that you are reaching the stated number of stitches given.

The Yarn

I used a mixtape yarn for this bag, which is strong and soft, like a tee-shirt yarn, this can be found in most stores or online.

It’s so great to crochet with and I used my size 10mm (US N/15) crochet hook, which made it really easy and quick to make.

The bag is seamed together using single crochet and the large bamboo bag handles are stitched on to finish.
