Travel in style with this chic bag that features a Harlequin diamond pattern. It uses a tight tension and sturdy cotton to give you a great, hardwearing bag.

The main part of the bag is constructed in a single piece with eyelet holes for the drawstring closure and two straps attached at the end.

You will need two balls of your main colour and one each of the other three colours.

Other supplies you will need:
60 cm cord for drawstring (or make your own with a French knitter)
tapestry needle
