The Sweetwater Hipster Bag can be made in two sizes. The large bag knits up quickly using two strands of worsted weight wool yarn held together, the small child’s size bag uses one strand of worsted weight wool. Both bags are knit in the round so there is no seams to sew. Directions are included for attaching a strap (sold on my website) if desired, or make the bag with a felted strap. Pattern has detailed instructions and colored pictures. Complete instructions for felting your bag are also included. You will also receive a tutorial on lining the bag with fabric.

Finished bag measurements for large bag: (depending on how long you felt your bag) approx.
8 1/2 - 9 1/2” wide, 8-9” high, 1 3/4” deep
Finished bag measurements for child’s bag:
6 3/4” wide, 6” high, 1” deep

I sell vinyl straps to go with this pattern, straps are shown in photos. Visit my website to purchase the pattern and the straps: www.lavenderhillknits.com
