This sturdy felted tote is perfect for carrying your personal items to the beach or a summertime picnic! The base is constructed with short rows and the body is striped to represent an American flag. The top is finished with a simple section of stranded colorwork (this can be omitted and knit plain). The rolled straps are knitted on, and then the entire bag is felted!
