This is a small open style of bag just perfect for running a few errands or carrying a knitting project around when you are waiting for kids at sport or other activities. It is knit in one piece on 80cm circular needles in two contrasting colours if desired but would be equally as attractive in just one colour.

I do all my felting in my washing machine and felt my projects to the point where no knitting stitches are visible and the fabric is then durable and doesn’t stretch when used.
