Slip Stitch Bag
This design is available as a pattern download here or as a kit including the yarn and pattern by visiting my website.
The project uses the slip stitch technique which is a great way of incorporating colour work in to your knitting in a simple way. You only ever use one shade of yarn on a row and simply Knit, Purl or slip stitches to create the effect.
This is a shoulder bag which is great for carrying around your knit projects. You can also make it more suitable for carrying heavier items by adding a fabric lining. I also added in some elastic inside the rib opening.
The yarn used is Rowan Felted tweed which is a mix of 50% merino wool, 25% alpaca and 25% viscose and can be washed in the machine on a cool delicate wash (please follow ball band instructions). This yarn is a firm favourite with knitters and crocheters alike, great to use with it’s soft tweedy texture and also a performs well for years to come.
The project uses 5 different shades.
