Granny Canvas Tote

"If you're looking for a fun way to dress up a plain canvas tote bag, this crochet tote cover is the perfect project. Made with colorful granny stitch stripes, it transforms an inexpensive canvas bag into a unique handmade accessory that's both practical and stylish. The crochet cover works up quickly using basic stitches and can be customized with your favorite color combinations. Since the crochet piece is sewn directly onto a sturdy canvas tote, you get the beauty of crochet with the durability of a structured bag. Whether you're headed to the farmer's market, the beach, the library, or just running errands, this colorful tote is a great way to add a handmade touch to your everyday style. I used a 13.5" x 13.5" canvas tote from Hobby Lobby, but similar bags can also be found online."
