Everyone will be asking where you got this bag, and when you tell them you made it, they’re sure to ask you how! This roomy felted tote with a basic cable pattern carries all your stuff in style. To achieve the bulky yarn effect needed for ideal fulling, you knit this bag holding two strands of yarn together throughout the pattern.
