#144 Everything Totes
These totes have nice wide bases so you can pack a lot into them. Fold in the corners for a decidedly vintage travel bag, or fill it to the top. A zipper closure keeps your things from spilling out all over the tarmac. This pattern also includes instructions for a coordinating Yoga Bag (which is listed on Ravelry as a separate entry). They all are designed for the intrepid beginner: They require knowledge of knitting and purling, increasing and decreasing, picking up stitches, working in the round on circular needles, and some simple hand-sewing.
