This funky fringed tote is sure to make a statement! Swishy fringe detail begs to be touched. The body of the tote is worked in a continuous spiral from an oval base. The sides of the tote have alternating “ridge rows” and plain rows. Ridge rows are created by working into the back loop only of each stitch. Fringe is attached to the front loops of the ridge rows.
