Knitting tote bags are very popular in recent days. I guess fell into this trend too and created this pattern. I loved it a lot and I guess it was worth for my efforts. I believe that you are also going to love this work. I could be a simple bag, however, I performed some minor touches to make it even cuter, don’t you think is it cuter now?
This knitting tote bag pattern will not be challenging for intermediate knitters. You can ask all of your questions about the pattern on my blog or through my Ravelry account. Good luck…

The pattern for the cut tote bag states stockinette but the photograph looks like garter stitch (all knit rows) please can you confirm which stitch is correct.
Some of these patterns originate in another language and are translated poorly, I think your instincts are correct, it is garter stitch not stocking stitch. I’m going to try to use these poorly translated directions and cast on for this today, I’m going to use the picture as the main guide rather than the written directions.
