Note on Colour:
Depending on how one wishes to apportion the colours, one can use all one colour or as many as three. The options would be to do the whole tote in one colour in which the linen stitch will be noticeable, but less pronounced. Or, do a two row or four row stripe from the bottom up through the linen stitch cylinder to make the linen stitch more noticeable. Then use the third colour to complete the top and the strap.
