****** TEXTO EN ESPAÑOL DEBAJO ******

Colorful and very easy to knit, Rodin bag is knitted bottom up in one piece, alternating knit and purl rows on circular needles, resulting in a garter stitch.

The artisanal plaid look is achieved by weaving the yarn with a tapestry needle through the bumps. It gives the handwoven effect and maintains the structure preventing the bag from stretching or deforming under weight.

It’s also lined (optional) with a cotton fabric. The closure might be a cord or a knitted i-cord worked with DPNs (as for the strap).

……………………………………………………………………………………………..

Muy colorido y fácil de tejer, el bolso Rodin está construído de abajo a arriba en una sola pieza, alternando puntos del derecho y del revés en agujas circulares, resultando en punto bobo.

La apariencia artesanal se consigue al pasar las hebras de lana con una aguja lanera bajo las puntadas, alternando vueltas. Esto crea un efecto de tejido de telar manual, que ayuda a que el bolso no solo no se deforme sino que tampoco se estire bajo el peso del contenido.

También, opcionalmente, puede forrarse con tela de algodón. Para cerrarlo puedes usar tanto un cordón tubular tejido con agujas de doble punta, como un cordón estándar de algodón (igual que para la correa).
