The S’mores Tote is a roomy, textured market bag made for year-round use. I love making totes for the farmers market or a trip to my local yarn store — and the best part is I can toss this one right in the wash whenever it needs it. A handmade tote is a lovely reusable alternative to plastic bags, and it makes a wonderful gift for a fellow maker.
This pattern is Week 1 of the Stitch the Season: Golden Hour crochet-along 🌅 — a free-to-join, four-week summer stitch-along of cozy, coordinating patterns. Make one, make all four, or jump in wherever you are! Learn all about the CAL and see the full collection here.
Why You will Love It

- Roomy enough for the farmers market, the beach, or hauling your yarn
- Sturdy, washable cotton — toss it in the wash and it lasts for years
- A reusable, handmade gift a fellow maker will love

Pattern Details
Skill Level: Intermediate
Terms: US crochet terms
Yarn: 720 yards total of #4 100% cotton. I made the sample in Bernat Handicrafter (Warm Brown, 400 yds + Sand Dune, 320 yds), and it’s also lovely in Premier Home Cotton. (For a Golden Hour colorway, try warm golds and peaches.)
Hook & Notions
Finished Measurements: 17″ across × 15″ tall (excluding handles)
Gauge: 7 stitches = 2 inches
Good to know: You should be comfortable with basic crochet stitches. This intermediate tote also uses front and back post double crochet for its texture — full instructions are included in the PDF.
📝 Pattern Notes
- Worked in the round.
- Use a stitch marker at the beginning of each round to hold your place.
- Adjust your hook size to your tension — always check your gauge.
- Tip: weigh your yarn cake before you start so you can track how much you have left.
