Nothing screams summer and beach time more than this cute little bag, knit in raffia yarn, that’s made of wood fibres. I’ve seen many lovely versions of this kind of bag over the years, but all crocheted. So I wanted to create a knitted version, still with the same look, but for those of us that has no clue how to crochet. It’s knit in a moss stitch and a simple lace stitch, it’s both beginners friendly and so satisfying to make because it’s so useful and cute (if you ask me;)). I’ll be wearing my all summer, when it’s aloud to go dancing again and for trips to the beach!
