The Back-to-Nature Bag takes a plain linen tote and transforms it into a stunning and stylish accessory. The exterior is worked in a crisp cotton yarn and features a neat stitch that almost looks crocheted.
Inside, this versatile tote bag has a canvas liner but with the advantage that only minimal sewing is necessary to complete the item.
The instructions can be used to knit a whole range of bags to suit all your summer outfits. Go for a nautical look in navy, turquoise and white or design a colourful rainbow from left-over yarns in your stash.
Please see below for more information about this pattern.
