Tote along your summer accessories in this roomy motif-built bag. Add an optional lining to this bag, which is large enough for a yoga mat and a change of clothes or all your beach essentials. The stitch pattern is reminiscent of al fresco summer dining on patios of Italian tile.

Simple join-as-you-go motifs start with a circle, then
square off with a bit of texture and colorwork to keep things interesting. The motifs are made the same with variations in the final round, depending on how many sides you will
be joining.
