Clueless Bag
Difficulty level: Confident beginner
Time to make: 1-3 hours of relaxed knitting
For pattern enquires or pattern help: Becknitstitchrepeat@gmail.com
This bag is a quick knitting project which is perfect for gifting (or keeping for yourself ;))
We start by knitting the top of the bag; by casting on stitches and joining in the round. We then work stocking stitch in the round for a while before making increases then decreases for the shaping at the bottom of the bag. We then use 3 needle bind off to finish the bag (or we sew the bottom of the bag) and knit up a strap!

Fur Trim
For the fur trim, use one strand of fur and one strand of the dk that you will be using for the body of the bag. I recommend: King Cole Luxury Yarn OR Scheepjes Furry Tales
