The Blue Bag of Happiness (which you can make in any color)
is just the right size for your cell phone, keys, small wallet and lipstick.

A quick knit, this bag is knit with doubled worsted weight yarn to make a firm body that, when felted, will not need additional facing to maintain the bag shape. Main body is knit in one piece with applied I cord in garter stitch. Short rows create a bias fabric. Strap and strap loops are knit separately.

Bag unfelted approx 13” by 13”
Finished size - 11” by 3.75”
