Vendela Shopper

ENGLISH

The Vendela Shopper is knitted in the round on circular needles using slip-stitch knitting with a twill pattern that resembles a herringbone pattern. First, the base is knitted flat, after which stitches are picked up all around the base. From here, the bag is knitted in the round in the same pattern. The bag is finished with an i-cord edge and lined with fabric. Finally, shoulder straps in vegetable-tanned leather are sewn on.

Size: One size

Measurements: Base: 14 x 34 cm, height: 30 cm.

Size guide: The shopper’s measurements are accurate if you maintain the specified gauge. However, you can easily adjust the fabric lining if your gauge differs slightly. Make sure to measure your knitted bag before cutting the fabric to ensure a perfect fit.

Gauge: 18 stitches x 34 rows in slip stitch pattern on 6.0 mm needles = 10 x 10 cm.

Suggested needles: Circular needle size 6.0 mm (80/100 cm), and optionally size 5.0 mm for the i-cord edge. You may also use a double-pointed needle (DPN) size 6.0 or 5.0 mm for the i-cord edge. It is recommended to use two circular needles for the first 3–4 cm when knitting in the round. Alternatively, use jumper needles for the base.

Suggested Yarn: Approx. 400 g Donegal Tweed+ from Lang Yarns (50 g = 105 m). Knit with double strands.

Fabric Lining: Approx. 50 cm fabric (e.g., linen) and 50 cm interfacing (the stiffer the interfacing, the better the bag will hold its shape).

Shoulder straps: Two leather straps, each 75 cm long, with four pre-punched holes at each end.

Vendela Shopper strikkes rundt på rundpind i vævestrik med et twillmønster, der ligner sildebensstrik. Først strikkes bundstykket frem og tilbage, hvorefter der strikkes masker op hele vejen rundt langs bunden. Herfra strikkes der rundt i samme mønster. Tasken afsluttes med en icord-kant og fores derefter med et stoffor. Til sidst sys skulderremme i kernelæder på.

Størrelser: One size

Shopperens mål: Bund: 14 x 34 cm, højde: 30 cm.

Størrelsesguide: Shopperens mål passer, hvis du overholder strikkefastheden, dog vil du nemt kunne regulere stofforet, hvis det ikke lykkes dig at overholde strikkefastheden helt. Sørg for at måle din strikkede taske, inden du klipper stof ud, så du sikrer dig, at begge dele passer sammen.

Strikkefasthed: 18 masker x 34 pinde i vævestrik på pind 6,0 mm = 10 x 10 cm.

Vejledende pinde: Rundpind 6,0 mm (80/100 cm) og evt. 5,0 cm til icord-kanten. Det anbefales at strikke med 2 rundpinde de først 3-4 cm, når der skal strikkes rundt. Alternativt kan der anvendes jumperpinde til bunden. Evt. en strømpepind str. 6,0 eller 5,0 mm til icord-kanten.

Garnforslag: ca. 400 g Donegal Tweed+ fra Lang Yarns (50 g = 105 m). Der strikkes i dobbelttråd.

Stoffor: ca. 50 cm stof, fx hør, ca. 50 cm vlies (jo stivere vlies, jo bedre står tasken selv).

Skulderremme: 2 skulderremme i kernelæder med 4 huller i hver ende og en længde på 75 cm.
