Description
​If you’ve been wanting to try your hand at granny squares, the Scheepjes Granny Square Tote is a lovely place to begin. Designed with beginners in mind, the pattern includes clear, straightforward instructions to guide you through each step. Part of the fun is picking your palette. You can follow the featured colourway or mix things up with your own favourite shades. Every square is a chance to add personality, and once they’re complete, you simply join them to create a sturdy, practical tote you’ll love to use. This project is made using Scheepjes Catona, a fingering weight yarn made from 100% mercerised cotton. With its smooth texture, gentle sheen and structured feel, it brings a crisp, polished finish to your handmade bag.
