MADE WITH HOMBYS
Autumn Motif Chunky Tote by @knit.in.his.name.co
A warm neutral body, a golden-brown autumn motif, and pale and dark contrasting bands make this chunky tote by @knit.in.his.name.co a distinctive fall accessory.

Planning Your Yarn Amount
The maker does not state the bag’s dimensions or how much of each color was used. Follow the tote pattern and swatch before ordering, allowing separate yarn for the front motif and trim. A listed pack size is a purchase quantity, not verified project consumption. Check the pattern for lining and strap attachment details.

YARN PLANNING · REFERENCE ESTIMATE
How much yarn should I prepare?
Reference size: 12 × 12 in body (30 × 30 cm). Scope: one finished item.
Whole-skein color budget: approximately 4 skeins in total, including one spare in the largest yarn group. Whole-skein rounding by color can exceed the estimated amount actually knitted.
Estimated fabric consumption before the spare: about 0.8–1.2 skein-equivalents across all colors. Small accents may use only part of a skein.
| Yarn / color group | Whole-skein planning budget |
|---|---|
| 4 Khaki & 4 Coffee | 2 whole skeins At 8 skeins / pack: 1 pack(s). Full packs may leave yarn over. |
| Cream | 1 whole skeins At 8 skeins / pack: 1 pack(s). Full packs may leave yarn over. |
| Dark Coffee | 1 whole skeins At 8 skeins / pack: 1 pack(s). Full packs may leave yarn over. |
Planning assumptions: two bag panels with 25% shaping / strap allowance. Area model uses 350 square inches per 27 yd skein as a working assumption, scaled to the listed skein length; ±20% allowance, plus one spare after rounding each color. Decorative / texture factor: 1.25. This is not a tested yield or the maker’s confirmed usage.
Color split: 4 Khaki & 4 Coffee 70%, Cream 15%, Dark Coffee 15%. These are illustrative planning shares, not measured original proportions. Mixed / gradient product rows are combined yarn groups; their full pack size is not a claim of project consumption. Check pack contents and top up individual colors as needed.
Before buying: swatch in the intended stitch, measure the finished swatch and yarn used, then scale to your chosen size. The reference size above is an assumption unless marked maker-reported. These figures do not establish the original finished size or actual yarn used.
