This easy puff stitch bag is a cute little statement piece! It’s large enough to fit over your shoulder, but not so big as to be a kitchen sink bag! The rows of puffy texture are reminiscent of the trendy cloud bags that are popular right now. It works up super quickly in a size 5, chunky weight yarn.
