The Yarn
The suggested yarn for this crochet shoulder bag the suggested yarn is a variegated yarn called Landscapes Fusion by Lion Brand yarn. The yarn comes in many beautiful color variations.
For a crochet tote bag, another great option would be to pick a cotton yarn. With cotton yarn, it would have more of a beach bag vibe.
But really, any 4 medium yarns would work great.

How Long Does It Take To Crochet That?
How long it takes to crochet something varies depending on your skill & how fast you crochet. But that isn’t a helpful answer is it?
Well, I’ve developed a yarn calculator to help you get the answer to this question.
It will help you calculate exactly how much time you’ll spend crocheting a project.
All you need to know is how much yarn you will use on the project in either meters, yards or skeins. Then crochet your test square & time it.
