This quick and colorful satchel kit combines Urth Yarns caked and ready to work: Uneek stripes for the linen and floral stitch motifs, and Monokrom ombred welts for the straps and base.

With a nod of thanks to @MarinJa, the Uneek motifs were inspired by her Pixelated Scarf and Kim’s Kabuto, reformatted to blossom from garden rows of wrapped flowers worked flat one from the next with no seaming. The base and straps are worked in 3 shades of Monokrom, in a sturdy welt stitch in the round, the straps bound by I-cords on either side. The only seaming are Kitchener joins at the satchel base and I-cord ends. Instructions for adding an optional lining (fabric not included) on page 5.

Our original Earth Day pattern uses remnants:
Spring cleaning!
What better way to use up all those remnants of Uneek stripes and Monokrom ombres, than to repurpose them into a quick and colorful satchel bag? With a nod of thanks to MarinJa the motifs were inspired by her Pixelated Scarf and Kim’s Kabuto, reformatted to blossom from garden rows of wrapped flowers worked flat one from the next with no seaming. The base and straps are worked in a sturdy welt stitch in the round, the straps bound by I-cords on either side. The only seaming are Kitchener joins at the satchel base and I-cord ends.

Errata for original version: re I-cord bind offs, asterisk placement: “…work a 4 st I-cord BO (CO 2 sts, k3, k2tog, move 4 sts to the working (left) ndl, rep bet - to EOR).”
Welt Stitch Base section should read Rounds 1, 3: K all sts.

Wrapped Flower Stitch Clarification for Row 4: K1, work the next 5 sts each with a triple wrap: (wyib insert ndl knitwise, wrap yarn three times, pull through to front of work). Each set of wraps counts as 1 st

Page 2 clarification at the start of the center decreases: Note the st count before the M in Rows 1 and 3 includes the M center stitch.
