I was inspired by the colorwork of Kristin Nicholas and the Traveler’s Pocket by Nancy Bush. In fact I used the same motif in part of my colorwork and the same braided strap as in the Traveler’s Pocket.

Minumim of three colors. Pattern includes color charts.

Knit in the round using dpn or circular needles.

Great first stranded yarn project.

This was designed and knit from leftover yarns.

One ball for the main color and short yardages for the
remaining colors.

Instructions for adding a lining and attaching magnetic snap included.

Errata: The number of purl rows between the sections was incorrect. Those changes have been made on the pattern and uploaded. If you printed or saved the pattern before May 1, 2011, you may want to download it again.
