scrunchie bag - knit

On sale
£3.50

KNIT VERSION! :)

In this pattern, we'll make a bag that's totally adjustable - it can be worn as a scrunchie shoulder bag, or a long crossbody. Who needs a Lemaire croissant when you can make your own !

Details:
The bag is knitted with 5mm needles and two colours of DK/Aran yarn (at least 150m or 75g of each colour is recommended). A 2m length of paracord and a stopper is useful but optional (you can substitute a ribbon or length of yarn).

The piece is knit flat, then partially seamed to create a tubed handle and opening for the main compartment. The pattern is made using an alternating two row striping pattern. In the worked example, the yarns used are Qing Fibre A) Teddy, and B) Dashing Fingering and Melted Baby Suri held together, but you can substitute for any two DK/Aran yarns.

The felted modification requires 400g Drops Snow (500g if you wish to extend your strap), a 35mm zip, 10mm needles for the main bag and 6mm for the applied I-cord.
