Granny Square pattern, Granny Square tote bag tutorial

1# Customization & Uniqueness:
Hand-knitting allows you to create one-of-a-kind bags tailored to your style. You can choose colors, textures, sizes, and designs to match your wardrobe or preferences. Unlike mass-produced bags, a handmade piece is truly unique.

2# Satisfaction of Handmade Craftsmanship:
There’s a special joy in creating something with your own hands.

3# Stress Relief & Therapeutic Benefits:
Knitting is known to reduce stress, improve focus, and enhance mindfulness. The rhythmic movements can be meditative, making it a relaxing hobby that benefits mental well-being.

4# Sustainability & Eco-Friendliness:
Knitting your own bags enables you to use sustainable materials like organic cotton, wool, or even recycled yarn. This reduces waste compared to synthetic or plastic-based bags, making it an environmentally friendly choice.

5# Great for Gifting:
Handmade knitted bags make thoughtful, personalized gifts for friends and family.

6# Creative Expression & Skill Development:
Knitting allows you to experiment with different stitches, patterns, and textures, enhancing your skills. You can modify existing patterns or even create your own unique designs as you improve

7# Cost-Effectiveness :
While designer bags can be expensive, making your own bag can be a budget-friendly alternative. Quality materials may cost less than store-bought handbags, and you can use leftover yarn from previous projects.

8# Durability & Strength:
With the right stitch patterns and yarn selection, hand-knitted bags can be highly durable and long-lasting. You can reinforce them with strong stitches and linings, ensuring they can carry everyday essentials without easily wearing out.

This is my Rose / Violet granny square tote bag pattern! It is detailed and includes lots of pictures (66) for those who are more visual! Changing the colors results in different flowers from the same PDF file.

I classified this model as a mini mid-level. Although I think an advanced beginner could easily do it :)
This pattern is written in EU and US terms (in English) - You should know the following stitches for this pattern: chain, single crochet. double crochet, puff stitch.
I used cotton yarn, but you can use any yarn.

Granny square tote bag dimensions:
30 cm height x 30 cm width ( 11.7 inches x 11.7 inches)
Handle length: 42 cm ( 16.5 inches )

The bag weighs a total of about 180 grams/6.35 oz.
So all colors would need 20-30 g each. /0.7-1.1 oz (so 1 thread per 50 grams/ 1.8 oz). White off would need about 70-80 grams / 2.5-2.8 oz (so 2 ​​strands of 50 grams / 1.8 oz).
If you choose yarn with a different composition, the quantity/weight may vary slightly.

If you choose threads from the same brand, you will need 1 strand each for all colors, and 2 strands for white off.
