Want to bring a touch of macabre to your local farmers market? Then this is the tote for you! I used a worsted weight cotton yarn; approx 200-250 yards and a 4 mm hook. The finished dimensions are about 12 inches high and 12 inches wide. The straps bring the total height to about 21 inches. This pattern includes two different base patterns for you to choose from and features subtle skulls and butterflies along the body of the bag.

Skill Level: upper level beginner; simple stitches are used throughout.
