This tote was designed out of my love for combining my two favorite things….knitting & reading! The Lincoln Village Tote is light weight and can “squish” down to fit easily in your purse when headed to your local bookshop or library. It’s “summer-friendly” since it’s made with cotton. The colors I chose were based off some books I was reading at the time.

Two strands of Galler Inca-Eco Organic Cotton are held together to created a marled look, but you can marl or colorblock however you’d like. Choose 2 skeins of one color for a solid tote, 2 different colors for marling, or multiple colors for color blocking.

It is knit in the round from the top down and seamed at the bottom using the three needle bind off. Gauge is not important for this pattern.
