Summer Escape Bag

"Red Heart yarns was nice enough to send me a skein of their Super Saver Stripes and Super Saver Ombre! I immediately thought of a fun summer bag with the stripes as the Polo Stripe colorway is such a summer-y combination of colors. I wanted to keep it to a one-skein project so I came up with this cross-body bag.
