Tote-ally Tiled Tote

> **This pattern was first published in my second book, Interlocking Crochet, in May 2026. It is currently not available for individual purchase and can only be obtained by [purchasing the book][1].** ***DESCRIPTION*** The Tote-ally Tiled Tote is a chic and practical accessory bursting with color that is just perfect for summer! Constructed from 13 squares or “tiles”, it comes with a set of sturdy faux i-cord handles that are embedded directly into the bag. This gives it a touch of refinement while providing reinforcement and stability, preventing overstretching. But the real fun begins right from the planning phase, when you start experimenting with colors and motifs! This pattern is the perfect opportunity to get creative and mix and match square motifs from the book. Try out bold, contrasting colors for a vibrant, modern look, or go for softer, complementary shades for a more subtle, harmonious design. The possibilities are endless! ***FINISHED MEASUREMENTS*** Width: 14.5 inches (37 cm) Length (excl. straps): 14 inches (36 cm) Strap total length: 15.5 inches (39 cm) ***DIFFICULTY*** Intermediate ***MATERIALS*** *Yarn* Fingering weight.
