This felted tote is perfect for carrying knitting and other projects. The entrelac pattern appears complex, but is easily learned. The squares are knitted together as you go. There is no sewing except to attach the side and bottom panel to the front and back. The squares on the front and back are larger than the squares on the side panels and bottom. It is very helpful to knit backwards in entrelac. The pattern includes instructions for entrelac and knitting backwards.
