Looking for the perfect stylish yet functional accessory? The Cable Crossbody Bag knitting pattern features a gorgeous cable center panel on both the front and back, with a sleek, modern shape created by simple raglan-style make-one increases along the sides. This bag is knit using KnitPicks CotLin, a durable cotton-linen blend, making it sturdy enough for everyday use while still being soft to the touch.

Features:

• Yarn: KnitPicks CotLin
• Construction: Cable center panel with raglan-style increases for shaping
• Optional Lining: Add a sewn cloth lining with a zipper for a polished, professional finish
• Customizable Strap: Attach any purse strap of your choice (I used a strap from Amazon, but fabric or chain options would work too!)

This versatile free knit bag pattern is perfect for everyday use, whether you’re running errands or heading out for a casual day out. It’s a fun and quick project that you can easily customize with your favorite yarn color and strap style.

Difficulty Level: Intermediate (due to the cable panel and optional lining)
