The Weekend Tote Bag is a stylish, practical, and satisfying knitting project designed by Aubrey Baumgartner. Knitted with delightfully soft and dappled Sunshower Cotton yarn, this sturdy tote combines a beautiful structured shape with a wonderfully soft feel, making it perfect for everyday adventures and weekend getaways alike. The pattern comes in two convenient sizes, allowing you to choose the bag that best suits your plans. The smaller version is just right for carrying your essentials while running errands or spending an afternoon around town, while the larger size offers plenty of room for an overnight’s worth of clothing, accessories, and other necessities. The construction is straightforward and engaging, beginning with a flat garter-stitch bottom that creates a strong foundation for the bag. Stitches are then picked up around the edge, and the body is worked in stockinette stitch in the round for a seamless finish. As you reach the top, the stitches are divided to create the comfortable V-shaped straps, with strategically placed decreases shaping the handles. The straps are finished with just a few remaining stitches and joined neatly using Kitchener Stitch, creating a polished and professional-looking finish. With its simple construction, useful sizes, and versatile design, the Weekend Tote is a wonderful project for knitters looking to create a handmade bag that is both beautiful and functional—perfect for weekends, shopping trips, days out, or whenever you need a reliable tote with plenty of personality.
