Tote Bag

This 15" x 12" tote bag is made using the Martha Stewart loom set.

For added strength, it is knit using 3 strands of yarn as one. The purple bag in the picture was knit using Red Heart Super Saver yarn: 1 strand of Orchid, 1 strand of Lavender, and 1 strand of Monet. The bag requires approximately 225 yards of each color.

The yellow bag was knit using just 2 strands of Red Heart with Love in Cornsilk for the sides. I added a 3rd strand of Loops & Threads Cozy Wool for the bottom and handles.

The bottom of the bag is oval and is woven. The sides of the tote are knit using my favorite stitch: the rivulet stitch. It makes a nice mesh bag great for your looms and knitting projects. You can even use this as a "yarn" bag, threading your yarn out through one of the holes in the bag to keep the ball of yarn from rolling around on the floor while you're knitting. :)

Everything is loom knit. There are no seams to sew. (Yay!)
