This pattern creates a rectangular tote bag with sturdy handles whose moderately stretchy body measures 13” wide by 14” long. The tote has an ocean wave pattern that starts at the base with the black depths of the sea and shades upwards to the light blue of the surface and a pale gray sky.
Optional iron-on appliqués can place sea creatures amongst the waves.
