The Chroma Tote Bag is a roomy tote bag with lots of color and texture! Self-striping yarn is combined with sturdy cotton yarn for a strong and beautiful fabric, and the raised line texture is created with post stitches. The unlined bag is finished with crocheted shoulder straps. This is an intermediate project.
