Beach Please Summer Tote Pattern
Materials:
Bulky Weight Yarn – I used Bernat Maker Home Dec yarn in Clay, Aqua, and Woodberry. This project took about ¾ of the skein of the main color (Clay) and then only a little bit of the other two accent colors. This yarn was really neat to work with. It’s a cotton and nylon blend in the shape of a knitted tube. The bag feels nice and sturdy in this yarn, but still soft. You can use another bulky weight yarn for this project, or double strand a thinner yarn, like cotton. Just make sure you check the gauge below to help you with your yarn substitutions so you aren’t surprised with a much smaller/larger bag.
Crochet hook – 6mm size – I always use (and honesty love) my set of Clover Amour hooks!

Ocean Breeze Tote Bag Pattern
Materials:
Worsted Weight Cotton Yarn – You can use any worsted-weight cotton yarn (or cotton blend). I used a Caron Cotton Cake in the Beachglass colorway. I used just over half of the Cotton Cake (approximately 300m/330yds).
Crochet hook – 5mm size (I always use and highly recommend Clover Amour hooks).
Yarn needle for weaving in ends
Gauge:
Gauge is not really important for this bag, but 8 SC stitches is approx. 2 inches wide, 7 rows of SC stitches is approx. 2 inches tall

Ocean Vibes Bag Crochet Pattern
Materials:
Bulky Weight Yarn – I used Bernat Maker Home Dec yarn in Steel Blue, Aqua, and Cream. This project took about two thirds of a skein of the main color (Steel Blue) and then a little bit of the other two accent colors. This yarn is a cotton and nylon blend so the bag is sturdy, but soft as well. You can substitute another bulky weight yarn for this bag, or double strand a thinner yarn, like a worsted-weight cotton. Just make sure you check the gauge below to help you with your yarn substitutions so you aren’t surprised with a much smaller/larger bag.
6mm Crochet Hook – I love my Clover Amour hooks!
Yarn needle for weaving in ends

Simple Drawstring Bag Pattern
Difficulty: Easy
Finished Size: 11″ wide* x 13.5″ tall, when laid flat.
*Before adding the surface stitching, bag will measure closer to 12″ wide; surface crocheting tightens it a bit.
Yarn: I used 2 strands of Cascade Yarns Sarasota (#3 weight cotton/acrylic blend) held together, but you can use whatever you have! A single-stranded aran or bulky weight yarn will work just fine, and you’ll only need about half the yardage; although it may alter your finished measurements a bit.
Hook: I (5.5mm)
Gauge: Your first 6 rounds should = 3″.

Marina Tote Beach Bag Pattern
Finished size: 21.5″ width x 14″ height x 5″ depth
Materials:
Hook: Size E crochet hook. This is my favorite crochet hook and yarn needle set I got from WooCrafts. The set is really affordable and comes with 9 different-sized crochet hooks, 8 yarn needles, stitch markers and a cute carrying case.
Yarn: ~3 skeins each color (6 skeins total) Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton yarn in navy (A), and ecru (B).
Grommets or eyelets: need 4 grommets/eyelets for this project; I recommend buying a kit like this one, which will give you enough grommets for 2 bags plus 2 left over. Grommets should be 1/2” or 7/16” in size – slightly larger than the diameter of your rope handles (see below).
Handles: ~2 yds of 3/8” twisted cord in natural color (or color of your choosing). I got mine at Joann’s.
