Colour Block Boho Bag Crochet Pattern

We all have busy lives with a million places to be, and even more things to do. It’s hard to stay organized. But with the Colorblock Boho Bag, you can get everything done and look good while doing it.  

This crochet tote bag is spacious and flexible enough to hold books, your laptop, or a towel and some sunscreen.  It could even hold a picnic for your day at the farm.

We made our Colorblock Boho Bag in a beautiful tricolor of Georgia Peach, Crimson and Sandshell, but you can make your bag in whatever colors you want!

Whether you’re dropping your kids off at school, picking up some things from the store, or going on a family vacation, this bag will carry everything you need and make you look stylish in the process!
