Perfect for a wedding or a spring outfit this bag could be made in a wide variety of colour combinations but I chose cream and black for its dramatic effect.

I used just over 3 skeins of Knitpicks Bare and a small amount of Cascade 220 Wool in black for the edging. Knitted mostly in the round on a circular needle using 2 strands of yarn. The rose is knitted with a single strand on the smaller needle.

Finished size when felted is:
Height: 9 in (22.5 cms)
Width: 9 in (22.5 cms) at the base, 7 in (17.5 cms) at the top
Depth: 2 in (5 cm)
Handle 20 in (51 cm)
