Fibonacci Portfolio pattern

“This useful portfolio is the perfect vehicle to subtly fly your knitting colors at work. Make it with handles, it could even hold a slim notebook computer. Add a zipper closure and it works well for storing a notepad and important papers. Used as the basis for a class, students can learn about Fibonacci sequencing (basic overview included in pattern).“ ~Joan
