Finished the tote bag! This was a WIP few days ago. I failed to take photos while in progress...But it was a very easy and quick project.
Here are the materials I used: one ball of Cannon thread and 1 1/2 skein of Catania cotton yarn. I used size 6/0 (3.5mm) hook with one strand of Cannon and Catania held together throughout. But i used 7/0 (4mm) hook for the edging of the straps
It turned out smaller than the original, but its big enough to carry essentials plus a one-skein project, when you don't want to bring a big bag ;)
I still plan to line it, and also sew a cellphone pocket. I already attached a magnetic snap (thanks to Su), but I'm thinking of sewing a zipper instead, so I can toss the bag in the car, when I'm in a hurry.
(You may email me for the link to the pattern, though I've already linked to it on Ravelry)

ReplyDeleteThat is so cute Mimi! Still looking for local stores that sell cotton yarn so I can start making a bag. I really can't stand working with 100% acrylic.

Lovely bag Mimi, and handy too. I wish we got those magnetic snaps out here. I'm no good at attaching a zipper !
