This tote is knitted in a circle from the bottom up. You will start with double pointed needles and change to a circular needle. It has a great flat bottom. Each handle is formed independently in tow halves while working in rows and then joined together at the top. After knitting the bag is felted in the washing machine.

Directions are given in the pattern for the felting process.

The directions are written in a manner that an advanced beginner should be able to make this bag.
