Hi, it's Marina, your favorite crochet tutor!
In this class, you will learn how to crochet this lovely tote bag, a really versatile and handy bag that you can use as a grocery bag, a shopping bag, a crochet wip bag or whatever you need it for!
You will also learn how to embroider those lovely flowers, using a tapestry needle and bulky yarn you have available.

This class is suitable for advanced beginners who already have a basic understanding of crochet and know the basic crochet stitches.
If you're a complete beginner, I highly recommend checking out my other classes first, where you can grasp the basics before diving into this project.

I offer a crochet course for absolute beginners that will teach you how to master the basics and create a super easy chunky scarf.

The second class demonstrates how to crochet a simple beanie to complement the scarf.

Both projects are enjoyable and can be completed relatively quickly, making them highly rewarding and stimulating!
