Pannier Market Tote.

A good square bag with a shoulder strap and a nice boxy shape! The Pannier Tote is a bit granny-square-inspired, but with a laid-back knit approach. The sample is knit in 3/2 cotton flake from Valley Yarns. The contrast strap is more for demonstration purposes (also, I ran out of the green) than a deliberate, necessary element of the design—you can knit this all in one color, but you know that. Because this has the stretchy quality of a market bag, it’s better for light things (towel, light change of clothes, trade paperback) than heavy ones, which will distort it quite a bit. If you happen to have an interchangeable needle set, this is an ideal project for it: you can not only switch to longer cords as needed, but can also use the extra cords as efficient stitch holders. **Materials**: * 154g/450 yards of 3/2 Noho Cotton Flake or equivalent * 1 set of DPNs in US7/4.5mm, or size needed for gauge * 16" and 36" circular needle in same size * tapestry needle for weaving in ends * crochet hook, size suited to yarn (for provisional cast-on) * scrap yarn (for provisional cast-on) * spare circular needles a size down, interchangeable needle cords, or other stitch holders **Gauge:** Gauge is 15 sts and 28 rows over 4"/10cm of garter stitch, worked in the round and blocked. Please be sure to check your gauge. **Measurements:** One size! These are flat measurements after blocking. It wouldn’t hurt to block this a little bit wide; gravity will pull it vertically. Depth: 16"/41cm Width: 17"/43cm Strap length: ~17"/43cm Link to [Annaplexis’ pinhole cast-on tutorial][1] [1]: https://www.tumblr.com/annaplexis/812273072743858176/learn-to-knit-in-50-squares
