Practical tote bag named after my beautiful grandniece Ophelia.

You will love the ease of use of Lion Brand Rewind, a soft polyester blend that perfectly mimics the look of raffia, but is soft and washable. I used one full skein of the main color and little bits of three contrasting colors.

I couldn’t find instructions on how to use these prepunched bag bases and D-shaped handles, so I jumped right in. The purse supplies are readily available on Amazon, and discount sites like Temu. Link in pattern to the one I used.

Easy hdc and sc construction - learn a new technique and you have a fun purse to use. Pattern size can easily be adjusted to the size you like.
