Mono_Tote Bag (English)

The Mono_Tote Bag is a lightweight yet sturdy shopping bag, featuring a delicate structure created by  a pattern of drop-stitch rows. The chosen yarn adds a slight sheen to the bag while ensuring its stability.
The shopping bag is worked from the bottom up, beginning with garter stitch and transitioning into the drop-stitch pattern. Finally, the top edge is given extra reinforcement, and the handles are knitted on.
