The beachy colors of Katia Soleil and Ella Rae Sun Kissed yarns inspired this practical cotton bag. Perfect size for a trip to the beach, farmer’s market or to hold your next knitting project! This bag is knit from the bottom up holding 3 strands of yarn at once; don’t worry, it’s not difficult! The multi-strand, or marled, knitted fabric is soft yet dense and creates a beautiful gentle gradient. The longer handle slips through the slit on the opposite side to hold your belongings securely.

SUPPLIES:
Yarn A = Katia Soleil, one 200 gram cake
The Soleil yarn will be held double; one strand from the outside and one from the center
Yarn B = Ella Rae Sun Kissed, two 100 gram balls in two colors (one ball each color)
US size 8 circular needle, 24” length

Kits for this design are available exclusively at YarnScout.

Colors used for Beachy Bright are Soleil 101 with Sun Kissed 12 and 06; Sandwashed Pastel is Soleil 104 with Sun Kissed 12 and 03. Another good combo would be Soleil 102 with Sun Kissed 12 and 05.

Due to the unique nature of the suggested yarns, you will likely not achieve a similar look by substituting other yarns. But, I encourage you to play, and look forward to seeing your results!
