Granny Bag

t





























I created this pattern all on my own! I like to create patterns that have very little fastening on and off. The strap, sides, and bottom are all one piece, but the two granny sides are seperately made. The yarn is a Red Heart multicolor that I absolutely fell in love with, but took forever to decide what to actually use it for. I used a little less than two skeins with an I hook. I have debated adding buttons or something for closure, but I like the way the sides drape around. I weaved ribbon in and out of the eyelets in the strap so that the straps don't stretch too much.

Knit Bag

I found the pattern for this bag on the Drops website. It was incredibly easy to make using 10.5 dpns and 2 balls of a variagated di.ve yarn. The pleats were pretty easy; all you do is knit a few stitches together off two needles. The strap is seed stitch and that really helped strengthen it. I think that the Drops knit patterns are a whole lot easier than their crochet patterns.

I never lined the bag and am really upset about it because I still used it and stretched it out quite a bit. I will eventually line it. It's a great bag and a decent size. I love the way the yarn worked up. The colors are very jewel toned.
