Knit Drunken Tote Bag FREE Pattern

Hi Friends! The Drunken Tote bag is love! This was a super fun pattern and something that's been on my list for a LONG time!

I used 2 balls of Lion Brand's Wool-Ease Thick and Quick. The lining is optional but it prevents things from falling through, plus it also stabilizes the bag and prevents it from further stretching.

The cord is made using the icord and loops around the sides.
