A very generous size tote great for shopping at the market or for a quick weekend away! The tote is knitted from the bottom up using two colours of double-strand bulky weight yarn. The bottom of the bag is knitted in a rectangle and then the sides are picked up and knitted in the round. The “Gingham Pattern” involves stranding work and is a good introduction to this technique. The finished dimensions are approximately 15” high x 18” wide x 6” deep.
