The Sweetwater Bag can be made with leather handles or felted handles. Knits up very quickly using a double strand of worsted weight yarn. There is very little seaming, only some grafting if you make the bag with felted handles, and sewing the pocket sides before felting. Bag can also be made longer, directions are included for adding length if you prefer a larger bag (additional yarn would be required).

Pattern was written so even a beginning knitter can make this bag, it includes detailed instructions and lots of color pictures. Pattern will also include a download for a tutorial on making a fabric lining for the finished bag.
