Build your knitting skills one colorful block at a time
The Log Cabin Tote uses simple garter stitch and an easy, repeatable construction technique to create a striking knitted panel—then you’ll attach your finished piece to a canvas tote you can actually use.
Inspired by traditional log cabin quilting, the design grows outward as you rotate your work, pick up stitches, and add each new band of color.
The Log Cabin Tote Kit includes:
- 5 skeins of Kingston Tweed alpaca blend yarn... already wound into cakes for you
- Full-color, printed pattern (in addition to the digital download)
- Cream cotton tote
- The Spinning Hand retractable tape measure
Knitting needles suggested for this kit (not included) - US size 8/5 mm circular

The Spinning Hand Story
Like so many new mothers, I wanted to learn to knit and make baby sweaters for my newborn son. This was back in 2003: before YouTube, before Facebook, can you imagine?!
I remember vividly the feelings of frustration and helplessness, trying to interpret cryptic instructions and complicated illustrations.
At the Spinning Hand we're dedicated to helping you along your knitting and crocheting journeys, every stitch of the way. (See what we did there?)
Only gorgeous yarn, reliable tools, and crystal-clear instructions will suffice for our everything-is-included crafting kits.
