“ALL IN Bag” is a felted Boho bag with plenty of room – a casual and practical everyday companion.

The bag is worked from the top down. First, the bottom of the bag is worked in the round as a tube, which makes it double-layered and thus sturdier in the finished bag. Then, stitches are picked up and knit around the edges of the bottom, and the body of the bag is worked in stockinette stitch in the round. For the handle, work is divided into two sections, which are then worked  in stockinette stitch in turned rows with shaping decreases. After completion, the two parts of the handle are grafted in Kitchener stitch. Finally, the bag is washed and felted, which gives it its distinctive appearance.

Techniques used: Provisional cast-on, picking up stitches, left- and right-leaning decreases, binding off stitches with passing over, grafting (Kitchener Stitch).
