Description
The Greek-style design of these totes has the look of Tapestry Crochet, but the effect is achieved with front-post stitches. This means you get classic tapestry styling with half the weight of tapestry crochet, which carries two yarns throughout the work. Worked in easy-care yarn, these totes clean up easily after playing hard at the beach or wherever your summer travels take you.
