These three bags were inspired by the reality and myth of the ocean. The two largest bags are pictorial stranded colorwork, and more challenging. The smallest bag is a more traditional fair-isle pattern, freshened up by a staggered arrangement. All three are backed with a repeating seahorse motif. The seahorse and crab patterns could be expanded to work any size of project. Handle reinforcement and lining are recommended for the two largest bags, and instructions are included.
