About the pattern:
This bag is perfect for adding a bit of woolly joy to your day. The stitch combination provides a mixture of sturdiness (chicken foot stitch) and delicate grace (lace stitch). It’s an A4 size which makes it perfect for carrying your books or notepads. Be prepared for compliments wherever you go!
