I couldn’t not share a closer look at this one… I’m still a bit obsessed with that texture 😍

This is my Candy Stripe Tote, a new bag design made using the beautiful Cotton Twist yarn from Stylecraft, and it’s been such a lovely one to work on 🧶

✨ About the Design

This is one of those projects that just keeps you going…

The colour changes, the texture, and all those little details coming together, it’s such a satisfying make from start to finish 💛

It’s simple enough to relax into, but still really interesting to work on, and I love how practical it is too. Definitely one of those bags you can use every day.

🧶 Yarn & Materials

I made my tote using Stylecraft Cotton Twist yarn, which works up beautifully and gives such a lovely finish to the stitches.

The colours and texture really shine in this yarn, it’s soft, structured, and perfect for a project like this 🧶✨

🧶 Free Pattern

The best part…

The Candy Stripe Tote pattern is now available for free over on the Stylecraft website 💛

If you fancy making one, it’s a really enjoyable project to dive into.

💛 Final Thoughts

I think this might be one I make again in a few different colourways, it’s just one of those designs that works so well in so many combinations 💛

If you do make one, I’d absolutely love to see! 🧶

And let me know… is this your kind of everyday bag? ✨
