Ideal for beginners, the MAGNOLIA MARKET TOTE shows off your fancy new stitch combinations and makes a perfect portable spring knitting project. Great for groceries and great for the beach, too! Magnolia is worked in the round from the top down in soft, silky Butterfly cotton which is available everywhere and comes in millions of wonderful colors.

Butterfly cotton is a silky, mercerized cotton yarn with an elegant drape. For a more rugged version, you could use a craft cotton yarn such as Lily’s Sugar ‘n Cream.
