Lotus Tote

Introducing our stunning Florid Slouchy Bag, featuring an intricate lotus shape at the bottom that adds a unique flair to your accessory collection. This versatile bag combines texture with a stylish design, making it the perfect companion for both casual outings and fancy events. With ample space for all your everyday essentials, this bag is as practical as it is beautiful. The double-knit handle provides extra stability and comfort while you're on the go.

This detailed knitting pattern begins with the innovative Disappearing Loop cast-on technique, allowing you to create a seamless construction as you work in the round from the bottom up. The bag's beautiful lace base sets the stage for the body, which features a captivating combination of textured openwork and Stockinette Stitch side bands. The top of the bag is gracefully finished with a picot hem at the cast-off edge, adding an elegant touch to your finished project.

Alongside the knitting techniques, a crochet hook is used to seam one live edge of the knitting, elegantly closing the hem and creating a decorative, lateral chain finish that showcases your craftsmanship. For the double-knit strap, stitches are skillfully picked up from the base of the hem, above the side band, and then attached to the opposite side of the bag, ensuring a secure fit that is both durable and stylish. To complete the look, an I-cord drawstring is created, adding functionality and charm to this beautiful Florid Slouchy Bag.

This captivating bag pattern is perfect for knitters of all skill levels who are looking to enhance their accessory repertoire. Download our free pattern today, and start creating your very own stylish Florid Slouchy Bag that is sure to turn heads!
