This bright and jaunty bag is worked in the colours of the Gulf waters lapping the Florida coast. It features bands of Basketweave set on a background of Double Moss Stitch, giving it an understated elegance.
The knitted bag is lined with a canvas tote in a co-ordinating colour to give a beautifully harmonious look. The final result is sturdy and modern – just perfect for a trip to the shopping mall or a relaxing day at the beach.
