This cheerful tote has a handy inside pocket for keys or cell phone, a long tube handle that slides to keep it open or closed, and the welt is double thick to handle extra weight. It is knitted with two strands of sport cotton in the colors of your choice-- be bold, discreet or somewhere in-between!

The pattern, in three practical sizes, has helpful charts that illustrate how to knit and finish the bag.
Sizes: 12x9, 14x11, 16x13” (30x23, 36x28, 41x33cm)

Sturdy, useful bag. Great for learning stripes, working with color. Bag has a pocket. Can i-cord the strap.
Skill level: EASY
