Gardener's Tote

The *Gardener’s Tote* is worked from the bottom up and features a striking trellis motif created by catching floats in front of the work and knitting them into the fabric, resulting in a stunning effect that beautifully showcases your favourite colour-changing yarn, like a skein of Dyed in the Wool from Spincycle Yarns. The handles are worked in the round to create a sturdy fabric strong enough to carry the tote bag and its content. [Looking for yarn inspiration?
