  Design (c) 2009 Laurie A. E. O'Meara

 

This pattern is for a basic knitted tote bag pattern.  It is an easy-to-knit pattern and the finished tote bag is both functional and stylish.  By choosing your own yarn colors, you may make the bag in your own preferred style of color, from traditional to bright.  The bag is knit using bulky-weight yarns and single-point needles, with crocheted handles for strength, and it is a fast project to complete.

 

The finished bag size is 10 inches wide, 9 inches tall, and 2-1/2 inches deep.  The handles are 9 inches long when held extended above the bag.  A great bag for the beach, for shopping, for an ample-sized purse, an excellent knitting bag, or even a bag for children to hold their toys or other items.  The durable jute bottom ensures the longevity of the bag
