Regent Tote

I’m so excited to announce that the “Regent Tote” is now available, a crochet dupe of my knitted High Street Bag!!!

NEW - Available as a kit today!

Do you remember me making the knit version last year? After launching that design I had a few of my crocheting friends reach out for a crochet version, so I’ve had this on the list to make for a bit and I’m so glad to say it’s finally here. I finished it a bit ago but sometimes things have their own timing to them. If you didn’t see the knit one and knitting is your favorite, I’ll be sure to include the link for that one below.
This bag works wonderfully for all seasons. Peep my Fall pic below. Geometric shaping details with the ever fun bobble stitch, and a sturdy construction due to crochets wrapped texture, make this bag capable of most things you throw at it. I took mine on a park trip recently and it carried the water bottles and food like a champ!

“ I just wanted to do another quick thank you for all your love and support of my designing. I am very excited to announce this design is available FREE on my Blog and as a Kit thanks to Lion Brand Yarn. Each and every Kit purchase you’ve ever made means me collaborating more and more with a company and yarn I find so dear to me. I can’t even begin to add up all the projects I’ve made through the years with their yarn. My latest combo is with my favorite go to Bulky Yarn. Order the kit, pick your combo, and happy stitching. If you reach out to me via email or IG, I’m happy to help give my thoughts on colorways to help you pick your perfect kit!” - Angie, now more from me below haha

I’ve noticed I’m definitely in a blanket, bag making mode this Summer. I haven’t made many garments as of late and I’m not even sad about it. There’s something so lovely about accessorizing your outfits with a little bit of DIY and getting that “I made this” joy. Some seasons in life we need those quick few hour projects from start to finish for that joy of finishing something new.

If you’re more of a knitter and would prefer a little soothing knit and purl combo, check out the link below. It has a more soft and flowy nature as all knitting does, but it’s the perfect tote when you need to carry around your wips and doing it in style to boot! I love how I can add all my tools, measuring tapes and yarn etc. to this one, and it fits with ease.

I worked this up in a fave as far as neutrals go but I’d also like to mention you could totally make yours using a pop of color to add to your OOTD. Grapefruit and the deep mustard tone in this tote would be amazing especially as we wade into the Fall months.

GAUGE

**Please check your gauge before you start this Pattern to match the finished measurements:

It’s best to make your swatch slightly bigger than what the pattern states it should measure, so you can measure it in the center of your square, getting an accurate reading. You can do this by adding 2 additional stitches and work 2 additional rows. Do not count the first and last stitch in your measurement or the first and last row.

Hook Size Suggestions:

If your swatch has less stitches, swatch again using a smaller hook.

If your swatch has more stitches, swatch again using a larger hook.

A bit of history behind the name:

Regent Street is a major shopping street in the West End of London. It is named after George, the Prince Regent (later George IV). The street's layout was completed in 1825 and was an early example of town planning in England. Regent Street was one of the first planned developments of London. An ordered structure of London streets, replacing the mediaeval layout, had been planned since just after the Great Fire of London (1666) when Sir Christopher Wren and John Evelyn drew plans for rebuilding the city on the classical formal model. After a lack of progress, houses were rebuilt on the old street network anyway.
