description:

The strawb satchel is an adorable fruit-shaped bag for foraging, gathering treasures and guarding small knitting projects. It should be approached with whimsy in mind! There is no colourwork as the seeds are added later using duplicate stitch. You could easily change the style of the bag by knitting a shorter length handle. This project requires both flat and circular knitting.
