Looking for a small tote bag? I have the bag for you! The Adamantem Tote Bag (adamantem is latin for diamond) is lightweight and easy to carry small things. The tight stitches help prevent it from stretching out when holding heavier things. The design is simple and clean utilizing knit and purl stitches. The top border is in seed stitch and a contrasting color to the rest of the bag. The body of the bag features a diamond design. Have you seen that stitch definition?? The edges use selvedge stitches which makes seaming super easy. It is a classic look that will never go out of style.
