Free Crochet Pattern Heart-Peace Tote, Purse and Wallet Set

 This week's pattern is really a set of three pattern. You can make a tote, purse and or wallet.
 The heart and peace symbol was made using a raised stitch pattern. There is a photo tutorial on how to make the raise stitches here.
 Basically I used what ever left-over yarns I had and used the white yarn to make the raised stitches pop even more off the background. Pattern here.
