My crochet tote bag is an easy project. Not only is it a quick make but also perfect for using up your yarn stash (you’ll only need 200g).
The mosaic pattern gives a retro look so you’ll be right on trend!

I’ve used inset mosaic in this free crochet tote bag pattern (if you would like to find out more about the two different mosaic techniques, you might also like this collection of free mosaic patterns).
The inset mosaic technique involves working chain spaces in rows using the first colour.
Trebles (US double) are worked into stitches on the next right side row below in a contrasting colour (this is knows as the Mosaic Treble Stitch (US Mosaic Double Stitch).
Chain spaces remain unworked and are on the wrong side.
The Mosaic Bricks tote bag pattern is repetitive and easy to pick up.
Another plus with this design is the handles. The handles are part of the tote bag (not added separately) which gives added strength.
If you are looking for an easy project with beautiful results, this crochet tote bag in a retro mosaic design could be the perfect pattern for you.

Design Inspiration
When I started crocheting a sample of the mosaic pattern, I wasn’t sure what the finished product would be. Pillow cover? Start again with more stitches for a blanket?
I’ve been wanting to crochet something for a friend’s birthday (she loves handmade and vintage) and a tote bag fits her lifestyle perfectly. I had my project!
How the pattern is worked
I’ve written pattern in UK and US Crochet Terms.
- The bag is worked in two separate panels.
- The body of the bag is worked in the inset mosaic brick pattern.
- The handles are worked directly onto the bag by chaining and skipping stitches followed by double crochet (US single crochet).
- After the 2nd panel has been crocheted, the tote bag is crocheted together (without fastening off).
- The two panels are joined together with double crochet (US single crochet) on the right side of the work.
This gives a lovely finish to the tote.

Yarn
I used Emu Classic DK in Navy and Stylecraft Special DK in Bright Green from my yarn stash.
Both yarn brands are soft premium acrylics that offer great value for money and are perfect for accessories.
Gauge is not critical for this project (although you will need to maintain your tension) so using the DK in your stash will keep costs down.
Pattern Notes
- Chain 1 does not count as a stitch throughout
- Yarn A – Navy
- Yarn B – Bright Green
- Yarn A and B are alternated every two rows
- Colour changes take place on the pull through of the last stitch of the 2nd row
- You will turn your work to start a new row. You won’t be fastening off at the end of each row but carrying the yarn up the side of your work
- Make sure this floating yarn isn’t pulled too tightly. You don’t want the rows to bunch up but to maintain their height
- Do not fasten off at the end of the 2nd panel as you will continue to crochet seams
- Weave in ends as you go

Materials

Stitches and Abbreviations
Special stitches: Treble 3 down (tr3d) / Double 3 down (dc3d)
The mosaic treble stitch (US double crochet) is made three rows below, in the front of the treble below the chains from the missed stitches.
(Chains are made for the missed stitches. An extra chain is made so that when a treble 3 down stitch is made, there is space. Example: chain 2 = 1 x treble 3 down)
The images below show 1) a row of chains are made for the missed stitches and 2) treble 3 down to complete the mosaic crochet.
- Dc – double crochet / US single crochet
- Tr3d – treble crochet three rows down / dc3d – double crochet three rows down (see special stitches)
- St/s – stitch/es
- Ch – chain
- Sk – skip
- Ch-sp – chain space
- Rep – repeat
- Cont – continue
- RS – right side
- WS – wrong side
Measurements
- Body of bag : 15 inches / 38 cm (w) X 13.5 inches / 34cm (h)
- Handles: 11 inches / 28 cm
