The Moroccan Market Tote is a gorgeous, luxurious tote bag that I designed a while back here on Moogly! And now, Lion Brand Yarn is giving away enough 24/7 Cotton to make it to one lucky winner!
The original Moroccan Market Tote was made with LB Collection Cotton Bamboo. But Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton is a perfect substitute for the summer of 2016! You don't have to change the hook size or the instructions, just pick a color scheme. And the huge range of colors makes it so much fun! Here are 3 swatches I made with the 24/7 Cotton:
It only takes 5 balls of 24/7 Cotton yarn to make the Moroccan Market Tote - 1 ball for the base/handles, 2 balls for the "lattice" color, and 2 balls for the "dots" color. But to make one that looks like the original, with 5 bands of color, it takes 8 balls - 1 ball for the base/handles, 2 balls for the "lattice", and 1 ball of each of the stripes of "dots."
So Lion Brand Yarn is very generously giving away 8 skeins to the winner - use the color schemes I shared above, or design your own! Either way, you'll have extra left over to play with, and that's always fun! Enter the giveaway below!
One winners will receive 8 balls of Lion Brand Yarn 24/7 Cotton in the colors of their choice. This giveaway is open in the USA only, and ends April 25, 2016, at 12:15am Central US time.

I have admired this pattern for awhile and would love to try my hand with this yarn! I'm having a hard time finding it locally.
Tamara Kelly says
This particular yarn is only available on the Lion Brand website, and in their store in NY. Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton is a great substitute though!

Tamara,
I had been crocheting earlier in my life and now that I'm retired I have time to enjoy and learn more. Your instructional videos are grrreat. I'm working on the Moroccan Basket and I'm pretty sure I couldn't do it without your videos. Plus I'm learning stitches I'll be using in all my work. Thanks.
Tamara Kelly says
😀 Thank you so much Jane! I hope you enjoy your retirement!

Shipping regulations are set by the sponsors. Lately, it's cost more to ship out of the US than the items themselves are worth!
