This sweet little bag works up in no time, and couldn’t be a lovelier way to say, “Be Mine” or “So Glad You’re My Friend” on Valentine’s Day. Knit in chic Linen Stitch and sewn together with an easy whip or running stitch, you could make several of these in the days leading up to February 14. And the charming inset pocket on the front is a perfect place to tuck a little love note or flower.

This bag is easily modified to different sizes. Simply cast on an even number of stitches for each of the three pieces of the pattern, and make the strap/sides of the bag as long or short as you’d like. Adjust the size of the sides to fit inside the strap you make.
