Pattern description from Bag Style: “Knitted from soft Rowan Scottish Tweed, Lisa B. Evans’s tote is a welcome companion on a weekend away. A colorful chunky Fair Isle pattern, made more dynamic by Lisa’s technique of changing pattern and background at wide intervals on different rows, makes a striking design on the bag’s front and back. For a roomy bag, Lisa worked a separate ribbed gusset that extends seamlessly into the shoulder strap. She added a matching buttonhole tab and a large button for fastening and lined the inside with contrasting woven fabric.”
