easy knitted tote pattern

for circular knitters

This easy knitted tote pattern is designed to help new circular needle knitters become more experienced both with circular knitting and making knitted - and later perhaps - tackling knit-to-felt totes if you wish.

You can make this knitting project lined or unlined. We've included full step-by-step instructions within the pattern.

If you already know the knitting basics but would like to practice your circular knitting - with the added bonus of no side seams to sew -you'll find this pattern full of helpful how-tos.

If you're already an experienced knitter you'll be using your tote bag finished no time.

yarn weight 8 ply
8ply/dk/3/light worsted

We used Panda Magnum 8ply /dk / 3/ light worsted for the illustrated tote - you'll have no problems finding a suitable yarn for this project - 8ply/dk/light worsted/3 yarn is readily available and reasonably priced in almost all countries - or if you live in a very warm climate use the equivalent in a multicolor knitting cotton for a summer purse.
