In the summer you want to wear sandals, light clothes and even carry comfortable and spacious, open bags: these are all symbols of the hot season, with sunny days and the desire to walk outdoors, perhaps also by the sea.

So, a bag / tote for this time of year will be useful to have to carry around, highlighted by bright colors and maybe even open-topped or with closures that are definitely not rainproof. Here are some patterns and designes to crochet, including a some suitable for the little ones - and not only this!

Colorful and soft handbags, perfect as an accessory for girls, and also as an excellent as a gift idea which can be customized.

A 5 and 1/2 crochet is used, working in single crochet and half high crochet, and then a button and possibly also beads are added to decorate the bag. It is a simple project, which perhaps, using different color combinations, is also great for adults!

Another adorable idea for little girls, and perfect to prepare for the summer: a sun-shaped bag, ideal to take to the beach and on summer trips. You work in a single color - a beautiful warm and intense yellow - but perhaps nothing also prevents you from using different shades for the triangles around the round central body, which become the sun's rays!

Buttons are used for this project too, and maybe it would be nice to choose fun and themed buttons. The tutorial also recommends using a starch spray too so that the bag retains a more rigid shape. In addition to basic stitches, double-treble crochet are also used.

A more sober tote for all ages, comfortable to carry around in the summer, for books, tablets, computers but maybe also for a small and quick shopping tip.

It has a dense texture, which creates a resistant bag without being too heavy, and its very elegant and simple shape is enhanced by the choice of using only one color - but nothing prevents you from opting for a colorful look!

If you want a softer and more spacious bag, then this "Auden" model could be for you. The workmanship in terms of stitches to use is very simple: only single crochet is used, at intervals taking two together, so as to create an increase in the right turns that generate the folds of the bag.

A colorful beach bag that immediately makes you think of summers spent by the sea: for this it is better to use raffia instead of cotton or other yarns, so as to get a tote that can better resist sand and salt. In addition to raffia, there are various accessories that can complete the bag, including handles and other decorations (like tassels)!
