★ Spots and stripes, no tigers harmed

What better way to celebrate the beauty of animals than with a cruelty free animal print bag? Animal print is so fun right now, and I love being able to combine spots and stripes in one design.

This is the knit version, worked in cotton with handy purse rings for the strap. A fun accessory that shows off your wild side.

• Cotton yarn. Cotton is the suggested fiber for this bag.
