Hand knitting pattern – Hackney Tote Bag

This medium-sized tote bag is a unique hand knit project, featuring an elegant design with a cable pattern that flows naturally from the bag’s body to form the shoulder straps. Knitted with 2 strands of the London wool, the bag showcases the fibre’s natural colouring of the sheep fleece and inherent durability. The main body uses a clover stitch pattern that creates beautiful depth through light and shadow. For added strength and stability, the bag can be lined with fabric – either coordinating printed or plain fabric. The design makes an excellent gift or personal project, combining practical functionality with the unique characteristics of heritage breed wools from London City farms.
