Woven Herringbone Tote
About the Design:
This tote weds classic colors with a classic herringbone design. The changing bands of color add interest to the easy-to-work 4-row pattern repeat. The crocheted bottom and straps add needed strength and durability, which is further enhanced by the fulling of the tote.
Exactly how much fulling is up to you! The sample’s dimensions show slight fulling. I’ve used a shed antler button, which compliments the tote’s coloring, but, you could insert a zipper, instead! Knit and enjoy!
Dimensions (after fulling):
Circ.: 33.5″
Length: 9.25″
Bottom: 11″x 6″
Straps: 29″
Yarn: Fingerlakes’ Soft Wool 2 ply (295 yd/4 oz skeins) 1 skein each: Burgundy, Denim, Sheep’s Grey
Gauge: 22 sts and 43 rnds = 4″ (10cm) in patt using size 6 ndls or size to give gauge.
Substitute Yarn Wt: DK wt.
Skill Level: Beginner
Happy Knitting!
