1. Foundation Chain: Begin by creating a foundation chain according to the pattern's specified length. This forms the base of your bag.
2. Crochet the Base: Work stitches into the foundation chain to create the flat base of the tote bag. The pattern will guide you on increasing stitches to achieve the desired shape.
3. Work the Sides: Continue crocheting in rounds or rows, building up the sides of the bag. This is where the two-tone design will be introduced, following the color change instructions in your pattern. Use stitch markers to keep track of your rounds or rows, especially if working in a spiral.
