| Everyone will be asking where you got this bag, and when you tell them you made it, they're sure to ask you how! The bag is knit in two panels and then seamed together and felted. LB Collection® Pure Wool is the perfect yarn for this bag; it's 100% undyed, roving-style yarn (ideal for hand dyeing and felting) that is spun in the USA from fiber from American-raised sheep. |

Felted Hold All Tote
Lion Brand® LB Collection® Pure Wool
GAUGE: 18 sts + 24 rows = about 4 in. (10 cm) in Rev St st (p on RS, k on WS) before felting. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
STITCH EXPLANATION: 4/4 LC (4 over 4 left cross) Slip 4 sts to cable needle and hold in front of work, k4, then k4 from cable needle.
4/4 RC (4 over 4 right cross) Slip 4 sts to cable needle and hold in back of work, k4, then k4 from cable needle. |
NOTES: 1. Tote is made from 2 Panels. A cable pattern is worked over the center 24 sts of each Panel; sts outside of the cable pattern are worked in Rev St st (p on RS, k on WS).
2. Stitch markers are used to separate the Rev St st sections from the center cable pattern.
3. A circular needle is used to accommodate the large number of sts. Work back and forth on the circular needle as if working on straight needles
