TAKE ME THERE

The Miami Cotton Tote was inspired by one of my favorite Nine West tote bags that I would carry full of notebook and other essentials when heading to campus. Based on the color of the Ahoy Ombre, my husband said that it reminded him of his hometown’s NFL team, the Miami Dolphins, so the tote got a name before it was finished!

You’ll enjoy the texture created with rows that protude from the surface, and using circular shapes to create this tote. You can choose to create 1, 2 or no pockets when assembling the pieces, as well as an option to create the bottom of the bag, if not using a wood bottom.

Whether you use an ombre yarn with coordinating solid colors, a striping yarn, or one color, you’re sure to turn heads when carrying the Miami Cotton Tote.

You can choose to use any comparable worsted weight yarn, but using a 100% cotton yarn will help it holds it shape.

P.S. This tote is large enough to hold 2 cones of cotton, and 3 skeins of fingering weight yarn. :slightly_smiling_face:
