Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in the following shades:
  • Burnt Orange
  • Deep Red
  • Golden Yellow
  • Soft Pink
• Hook: Size H/8 (5 mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 14 single crochets (sc) and 16 rows = 4 inches

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Begin with the Base

1. Using burnt orange yarn, create a magic ring.
2. Work 6 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring.
3. Round 1: Increase in each stitch around (12 sc).
4. Round 2: (Sc in the next stitch, inc in the next stitch) around (18 sc).
5. Continue increasing in this manner until you reach 60 single crochets.
6. Work even in single crochet for 10 rounds. This will form the base of your tote.

2. Create the Asymmetrical Body

1. Switch to deep red yarn. Work 5 rows of single crochet, increasing 1 stitch at the beginning of each row on one side only to create an asymmetrical angle.
2. Switch to golden yellow yarn. Continue in single crochet for 5 rows without increases.
3. Switch to soft pink yarn. Work 5 rows of single crochet, decreasing 1 stitch at the beginning of each row on the same side as the increases to balance the shape.

3. Form the Strap

1. With burnt orange yarn, attach the yarn to one corner of the bag's top edge.
2. Chain (ch) 60 for the strap, then slip stitch (sl st) to the opposite corner of the bag.
3. Turn your work, and single crochet in each chain across the strap.
4. Slip stitch to the starting point to secure the strap.
5. Fasten off and weave in all ends using a yarn needle.

4. Finishing Touches

1. Add a decorative tassel using all four colors at the base of the strap for a playful touch. To create the tassel, cut strands of each color yarn, tie them together at one end, and attach them to the strap.
