With the basic knowledge of ch and double crochet, this granny tote bag is easy that even beginners can finish this project in no time. 

I used up some of my left over yarn for colorful effect.

This Granny Tote Bag was crocheted from top to bottom, then back to top for the handle.

Love this bag, and since I bring WIP anywhere I go, I was able to add lining.

Measurement of the tote bag after I put lining:

H:13.5" x W:12.5" (not including the handle)
