Free Blue Flower Tote Crochet Pattern

These days I'm a lot slower but I still want to post a free pattern every week.  First it was up every Sunday that eased into every Monday then a jump to Wednesday and now its Thursday and I don't know what happened to the week!
This tote was made with Lion brand homespun yarn but the flowers was made using Bernat baby coordinates yarn.  I figure with most people lovely stashes of yarn you can probably use about whatever you have on hand to make it.

Enjoy!
