The bag is made in Stockinette stitch in one piece. You can use either the front or back as the right side. The picture shows the back (Reverse Stockinette stitch) as the right side. The bag has a canvas top with open areas in the seam for the twisted cord handles. It is perfect for the beach in a pretty self striping pattern.
