The Chroma Shoulder Bag is a colorful carryall with lots of texture! The bag is made with two strands of yarn held together and the raised line texture is created with post stitches. The straps double as a drawstring to cinch in the top edge of the bag, and the tassels at the side add the perfect finishing touch! This is an intermediate level project.
