This collaboration between me and Ali of Road Trip Sock Yarn could not be more purrfect! The first time I was Ali’s cat colorways I knew there was a cute bag in the future. Thanks to Ali’s spectacular dyeing skills, you can have your own Cat Crossbody Bag that matches a special feline in your life! Be sure to check out Road Trip Sock Yarn’s full link of feline themed fibers and pick the perfect one for your project. The Cat Crossbody Bag fits your essentials in its two compartments. Stay organized and cute on the go!

Yarn:
Aran / worsted weight wool in any of Road Trip Sock Yarn’s cat colorways
