Farm Share Mesh Bag
Are you ready to take your knitting skills to the next level while creating a functional and stylish accessory? Introducing our versatile Summer CSA Tote Bag pattern! This innovative design was born from the need for a compact, yet sturdy bag that fits comfortably inside your purse. Perfect for carrying your weekly summer CSA farm share or for trips to the local farmer's market, this lightweight tote expands effortlessly as you fill it with fresh produce or any essentials you need.
The pattern begins with a dense, garter stitch base that provides excellent support for the bag, ensuring that everything you carry stays securely inside. From there, you'll knit upwards in an engaging mesh lace stitch that not only adds visual interest but also allows for flexibility and breathability. Adding handles is a breeze: simply cast on stitches during your final rounds at the bag's edge. Best of all, there’s very little finishing work required, which means you can efficiently weave in your ends and have one or two of these eco-friendly totes ready in time for your next summer outing.
- This pattern is knit in the round on 4mm needles, transitioning from double-pointed needles (DPN) to circular needles for a seamless finish.
- You'll need approximately 350-400 yards of worsted weight cotton yarn, with the pattern ideal for using at least two different colors. Recommended brands include the soft and durable Lion Brand Cotton-Ease or the reliable Knit Picks Dishie.
- The tote bag is designed in one size but includes helpful notes on how to easily adjust sizing and handle lengths to suit your preferences. Plus, we've included a section with inspiring color combinations to ignite your creativity!
Get ready to knit your new favorite summer accessory with our Summer CSA Tote Bag pattern—an ideal choice for eco-conscious knitters looking to combine style and practicality.
