This easy to wear design is suitable for knitters from advanced beginner upwards. Knitted on straight needles the decoration is created by knitting with 2 colours of beads with shaping kept deliberately simple so that you can enjoy the beadwork. As the bag is knitted in Rowan Denim and takes into account the shrinkage of the yarn I would advise against using any other yarn for this design.

Finished bag measures 23 cm wide x 18.5 cm long, length of bag from centre of strap to bottom of bag is 73cm

Also needed are:
992 x large white beads
144 large red beads

The pattern combines both written and charted instructions.
