This is a knitted bag with lining, made funky by the jolly pompons and complete by a matching cowl. Both pieces are knitted in one piece and they are really quick projects. With its cheerful colours it will surely be a happy addition to your garderobe!
The interesting and unique feature of this pattern is that it includes detailed written and photo-illustrated instructions for the lining. This can be great help for those with less advanced sewing skills. I know many people who refrain from bag knitting because of the cutting, sewing and lining process, though it is necessary for the bag to be perfectly functional. I hope that many of you will like it!

Dimensions of the bag: width: about 38 cm, height: about 27 cm, strap length: 56 cm.

Gauge: Using 5 mm knitting needles, 17 stitches and 30 rows in Basket Weave Stitch = 10x10 cm. (Since the swatch is made flat and the chart should be followed knitting in-the-round, work odd rows according to chart and even rows by knitting every knit stitch and purling every purl stitch.)
