The Summer Friends Tote, with its pink hibiscus flower motif, symbolizes friendship. It is designed to be used during those beach summer vacations with your friends where totes are valuable in carrying sunscreen, sandals a towel, book, or even another project. This tote is special in that it’s double knit making the bag reversible with extra protection due to its thickness.

Color A: 2 skeins of 24/7 Cotton in “Grass“ or approximately 304 yards of medium weight level 4 yarn

Color B: 2 skeins of 24/7 Cotton in “Rose“ or approximately 278 yards of medium weight level 4 yarn

Pattern is constructed in the round using double knitting techniques, then, finished with handles.

The page count is larger than usual because the pattern is written with stitch-by-stitch color changing instructions or you may choose to read the chart when indicated, understanding that each box represents two stitches: one that will make the outside of the tote and one that will make the inside of the tote.

Double pointed needles are only used to knit handles; you may also perform these on your circular needles.

When right side and wrong sides are referenced, this means Color A will be facing for the right side/outside and Color B will be facing for the wrong side/inside. However, there is no real right or wrong side as this is a reversible tote.
