I don’t know how, or when, crochet became the ultimate summer style, but it certainly is. From cute swimsuits to summery tops, it’s the season of the open knit. If you aren’t sure how to infuse a dose of coastal grandmother into your wardrobe, I’d suggest a woven bag. There are raffia bags, as well as straw bags, but if it’s a truly capacious option you seek, you should consider a crochet tote. The tote form lends itself to holding more of your necessities. So go ahead, throw in that extra towel or spare beach read. You never know what this summer might bring. Here, find 16 of the chicest crochet totes to accessorize with.
