The farmer's market is just around the corner so you know you'll need a handy dandy tote to hold all of your goodies! This durable tote is made from Fantasy Naturale, our favorite hard wearing cotton yarn. This open knit bag will expand to hold pounds and pounds of vegetables (or fudge, we won't tell) and will contract into a little compact piece that can be easily tucked into a purse or backpack.
Knit on large needles, you will be able to conquer this bag in no time. Knit a few, knit a lot, these bags make great gifts and practical companions as you frolick through the summer.
