Candy Corn Tote
By SilverWing
My new favorite fall accessory! I love tote bags, as I'm always needing to carry things with me, be they books, craft projects, or otherwise. I loved the way this bag turned out. I added the "chocolate" candy corn color to give it a little more punch. ^^ It's a simple single crochet stich done with four different skeins of yarn.
