Boham bag is knitted bottom up seamlessly (starting from the bottom with DPNs and changing later to a circular needles), alternating knit and purl rows, resulting in a garter stitch. It’s a very easy project and fully beginner friendly.

The artisanal woven look is achieved by weaving the yarn vertically with a tapestry needle through the garter stitch bumps. It gives the handwoven effect and also maintains the structure preventing the bag from stretching or deforming under weight.

Finally it’s lined with cotton fabric (easy to sew by hand) and completed with leather straps, that pass through the eyelets and are sewn together.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Boham está tejido de abajo hacia arriba (comenzando desde la base con agujas de doble punta y luego cambiando a agujas circulares), sin costuras, alternando vueltas de punto derecho y revés,dando como resultado el punto bobo. Es un proyecto muy fácil y completamente accesible para principiantes.

El efecto telar se logra al pasar el hilo verticalmente con una aguja lanera a través de las protuberancias del punto bobo, alternando puntadas. Esto no solo crea un acabado artesanal sino que también mantiene la estructura, evitando que la bolsa se estire o deforme con el peso.

Finalmente, está forrado con tela de algodón (fácil de coser a mano) y se completa con tiras de cuero, que se pasan por los ojales y se cosen juntas.
