To celebrate the release of my first bag I am offering it at half price from Oct 11 to Oct 18. No code needed just add to cart!

I use a cane to get around so was looking for a comfortable cross body bag. I like messenger bags but wanted something smaller. I couldn’t find one. Most purses in general have leather, fake leather or chain straps. I wanted a soft strap that wouldn’t feel like wearing a seatbelt all the time. Due to neck and back problems I can’t use backpack style. Besides, I couldn’t find one in a simple design in adult size. They are either made for children or are too large. Well if no one else would make what I was looking for, I will! I love the power of yarn!

The bag is worked in the spiral, amigurumi style. As a bonus there is a change/card purse included to match. The whole set took just a cake of yarn! I may have had a yard left over LOL The yarn I used is Lion Brand Mandala Ombre in Harmony colorway.

It is very easy to adjust the height of the bag and the strap length. The size listed is what mine came out to be. Your yarn and tension can change that. Once you make round 2 of the bag body, it will give you an idea of the size your’s will be.

If you need a comfortable bag that is not too big, adjustable and fun, this is for you!

Enjoy!
