It is made with modified Suzette stitch. How did I come up with it?

I have always liked crocheting Suzette stitch which is sc+dc in the same space. So when I was making my wine totes for Christmas fair last year, I wanted to add a pattern in addition to the shell stitch (green and white totes). I used Suzette stitch and added a chain between each sc+dc to make it look more sheer. And I crocheted in continuous rounds to get the spiral texture of the red tote.

I use Lion Brand Re-Up recycled cotton yarn. You will need 4 skeins. The color in this tutorial is the cheerful variegated Bubble Gum. Crochet hook is size 5 mm. You will also need a stitch marker. The bag measures about 12.5 in wide and 13 in long.

Abbreviations:
R = round
sc = single crochet
sl st = slip stitch
dc = double crochet
