These little bags are just perfect for sunny spring days. Every time I look at these bags, they make my spirit feel younger. With room for all of the necessities, take them everywhere your flip-flops will carry you. As a Spring Basket, make felted and decorate with stripes, dots, or small field flowers.

Great starter project for the budding knitter in your household! Made unfelted for warmer months; the small size of these bags (and thus, the small amount of yarn) makes them perfect for trying out new, exquisite fibers.

The pattern is designed for the intrepid beginner, so it requires knowledge of knitting and purling, increasing and decreasing, picking up stitches, and working in the round on circular needles.
