This is the third pattern from the Totelly Tote series. No, I did not make a mistake naming the pattern! You might already know that from the first two patterns in the series. I came up with this playful word,”Totelly”. Suits a tote bag, right?

The bag is made up of two squares, joined together with braided sides and bottom. The squares are worked in rounds from the centre, in mosaic knitting, in stocking stitch. The charts are also given in reversed colours for ease of use in case you decide to swap the light and dark colours in your bag. The mosaic pattern is charted and written out.
