Hey there! Welcome back to The Lavender Chair! This Daisy Fields Market Tote pattern is perfect for either groceries, a beach/pool day or a tote for your latest crochet project! This pattern is created by making a long oval as the base (much like a sole for a shoe). The base is then continued with a few rounds of dc. Next you will create the body of the bag with this intricate stitch that mixes both lacy and textured patterns. After a few rounds of sc on top, you’ll finish off by chaining to make handles then sc around til you get the desired handle width.
The Daisy Fields Market Tote crochet pattern is FREE to view on my website (just scroll down to see instructions). If you prefer, you can purchase the ad-free printer friendly version on either Etsy or Ravelry below.

Notes:
- Turning chain does NOT count as your first stitch (unless otherwise specified). So, be sure to work your first stitch in the very first stitch.
- When working in the round, be sure to work your first stitch in the same stitch as join (unless otherwise specified)
- In Round 26, I chained 40 for the straps. If you prefer longer or shorter straps/handles you may adjust by adding or subtracting chains.
