The Poet Tote Pattern is an intermediate level pattern due to the complexity of the oversized bobbles. If you have made my Poet Cardigan or Mini Poet Cardigan you will be familiar with the larger bobble stitch. This pattern is more straight forward than the cardigan sleeves.

The pattern uses two strands of Aran weight cotton or cotton blend at the same time. You can adjust hook size for a larger or smaller tote,
You can also use one strand of super chunky/bulky yarn.

You will need two faux leather handles/straps which are very inexpensive on Ebay.

Gauge is not really an issue with this pattern, though guidlelines are included in the pattern.

I hope you enjoy making yourself a new Tote bag, and show me your photos on Instagram!
