This beautiful bag is perfect for everyday and dressing up – yourself, a loved one, or even your knitting projects! Elegant cables adorn both sides of the gently tapered bag surrounding an eye-catching twisted motif, designed to give pleasure to both knitter and bearer alike. The two sides of the bag (knitted flat and seamed, for strength) are knitted identically using Rowan Big Wool which, when lined with fabric of your choice, creates a truly stunning piece.
