What Makes This Crochet Beach Bag Stand Out
The gorgeous stitching on this crochet beach bag is the highlight of the design. Not only is it eye-catching, but the textured puff stitches also give the bag more body, making it both stylish and sturdy. Is the stitch difficult? Not at all! With the easy step-by-step tutorial and high-quality photos, you’ll master it in no time.
As for the beautiful straps, I used three strands of the working yarn to crochet two strong and comfortable cords, beautifully attached to the bag with a knot. These straps won’t stretch, I promise! 🙂
This crocheted tote is firm, sturdy, and functional, thanks to the strong cotton yarn used. You can carry all your beach essentials without worrying about your bag stretching out.
Needed yarn for this crochet beach tote pattern
You’ll need #4 worsted-weight cotton yarn to crochet this gorgeous shoulder beach bag. It helps the bag hold its shape, is easy to work with, and gives the stitches a beautiful definition.
For my Lemon Drop Bag, I used Lily Sugar’n Cream cotton yarn, a robust cotton yarn perfect for adding firmness to the bag, in lovely yellow and white shades. Other cotton yarns like Bernat Handicrafter Cotton or Crafter’s Secret cotton yarn are also great options.
Softer cotton yarns, like I Love This Cotton from Hobby Lobby, are easier to work with but won’t give the bag the same structure and body we’re aiming for.

Do I Need to Line My Crochet Beach Bag?
The bag is sturdy and functional as is, so I didn’t feel the need to add a liner. I usually carry a towel, sunglasses, a book, and water when I go to the pool, and I use a small pouch for my smaller items like keys, phone, clips, and lipstick, so they don’t fall through the stitch holes.
However, if you prefer, you can easily line your bag—it’s a simple process that only requires basic hand-sewing skills and will enhance the functionality and firmness of the bag. Lining the bag will also help protect it from getting dirty. I’ve included a step-by-step lining tutorial in the pattern to walk you through the process.
