Tea Totes

The tea totes began as a bag of pearl cotton gifted for tatting.  I used over 20 balls for tatting kits and there were still plenty left.  I was looking for a small project and found these tea totes on Ravelry. 

I didn't use the Ravelry pattern, rather with the idea and inspiration I made up my own design.


This  single crochet project uses about 15 grams of  2 ply pearl cotton. The average size is 3 by 3 inches.   I had  been gifted a package of floral wooden buttons.  I think I was supposed to tat with them but they ended up being closures for the Tea Totes.  


These little totes work well when you use a small clutch or just slip into your pocket. Not only a sachet of tea fits nicely but here are a few other things to put in your tea tote:

  • small tatting project with shuttles
  • pills/ medication
  • contact lens
  • dental floss and picks
  • lotion
  • lipstick/gloss
  • tissue/hanky
  • breath mints/candy
  • needle case/sewing kit
  • sweeteners/condiments
  • credit card
  • small spray cologne
  • Eyeglass cloth
  • Band-Aids
  • hair clips
  • ear buds
  • jewelry for travel
  • feminine products
  • condoms

  1. Very handy. I was a bit puzzled by the tea totes name, aha, it’s to carry a teabag in.

  2. Those buttons are beautiful and would have made some of Diane's fabulous button ornaments, but they sure do fancy up those tea totes!!! :)
