Hi Friends! Today's free pattern is the LiLium Bag Pattern! I am a sucker for sales and I think you can relate! These Hooked Ribbon XL yarn was on sale! ERRR I couldn't resist so the result is a tote bag. Honestly, I would not have chosen green but it was the color on sale and it pushed me to get a color I normally wouldn't.

I used Hooked Ribbon XL yarn but you can use other heavy weight yarn like Lion Brand's Wool Ease Thick and Quick, a wool blend. Another great option is Hometown USA 100% acrylic yarn although this one is softer. I used this one in my video tutorial.
You can find the pdf pattern in my shops or save it as a favorite. Links to video and resources are provided in the pdf pattern as well.

Set up round: 1sc tbl of each st around. Pm on first st of each round if desired.
Rounds 1-20: 1sc in each st around in a continuous roun
