Materials:
 300 gram grey Hverdags garn (color code 633 from Du Store Alpakka.)
 1 circular needle sized 5 mm, length 60 cm.
 4 buttons for decoration
 1 zipper, 27 cm in length

Tension:
This piece is knitted in double Hverdags yarn and knitting tension should be as follows: Knit 19 stitches and 25 rows to make a 10 cm / 4 inch square.

Notes:
If you have mastered the art of knit and purl, this will be a project that is both entertaining and easy to complete.
This is a classic bag that can withstand the test of time.

This bag is very spacious and is also perfect for holding bikinis, flip flops and towels for a day at the beach when knitted in a cotton yarn, but if you knit it in wool as I have done here, it will also warm your hands on a cold winter’s day if you have forgotten your mittens at home.

Good luck and enjoy!
