Striped Summer Tote

"Ready to knit your own Striped Summer Tote? It’s easy! This bag is knit using the double moss stitch, which is just a combination of knit and purl stitches. You knit the two side panels first, then pick up stitches on the side to make the vertical stripes. It’s a lot easier than it looks! I love the way the stripes run in different directions. A small base is knit separately and then you easily stitch up the two panels and the base.
