This granny square tote bag crochet pattern turns just 3 classic squares into a gorgeous boho-style bag — beginner friendly, cotton yarn, and a full 7-part video tutorial series included.

About This Pattern
The construction is what makes this bag so clever. You make three identical granny squares, fold each one on the diagonal to form a triangle, then seam them together into a W-shape that becomes a beautiful boho-style tote. The folded corners create the bag’s depth automatically — no separate base or gusset needed. Once the seams are done, a simple 2dc, ch3, 2dc handle joins the top corners together, and a single crochet edging along all remaining open edges finishes the bag cleanly.
The PDF pattern includes full written round-by-round instructions for the granny square, a color sequence chart, a step-by-step assembly diagram, and links to all seven tutorial videos.
