Alison tote

The best designs come from dares: in this case, create a felted bag using one skein of Malabrigo worsted weight yarn, with bonus points for incorporating cables and a minimum of finishing. This is the result: cables on the flap and down the sides add interest, while mitered corners at the base give some dimensionality. The strap is designed to work both in a long/shoulder length and a shorter/hand tote length. Happy birthday, Alison!

(Skills needed: Cabling, cable cast-on, knitting in the round, three-needle bindoff, I-cord, felting.)
