Whipstitching and overcasting done in #15 Brown Needloft Yarn. For Flowers & Heart Tote the center of the flowers are done in French Knots with #41 White Needloft Yarn.

For the handle of each tote: On the side of the tote 8 holes across and 4 holes down thread in 1 piece of each color of Needloft Yarn and then again in the next 2 holes, so you have 2 colors in 3 holes. Knot all 6 pieces of yarn together on the outside of the tote and trim so they are even. Braid all 6 pieces so you have about fifteen inches (you can determine how long or short you want the handle), then on the other side 8 holes across and 4 holes down thread 1 piece of each color of Needloft Yarn and then in the next 2 holes, so you have 2 colors in 3 holes. Knot all 6 pieces together on the outside of the tote and then trim so they are even.
