Notes

I came across this tote bag pattern on Ravelry and realized it would be perfect to use up all my Luna and Mission Falls cotton odds and ends. I had a large bag of leftover cotton yarn that had been used for a blanket. Most of the pieces were short, so it worked perfectly to do thin rows of random colors. I used the pattern to determine the number of stitches and rows to make the large tote, but I did the entire bag in single crochet instead of the textured stitch that was suggested. I wanted the bag to sag as little as possible, and I thought the single crochet would be sturdier. I also added a row of slip stitch around the edge of the tote and handles to avoid stretching. I lined the tote for this same reason (used an iron-on pellon on the back of the polka dot fabric for added stability). Can’t wait to go to the Farmer’s Market!
