It all began with my love of art deco and my desire to design my own bag, the two merged together and this is what was born!

It is knit in the round with the bottom grafted together at the end. The straps are added seperatly. The big chunky buttons give it texture and are used to fastern the bag together with the knitted clasp. It is a really quick easy knit, I did my second one in just a couple of days!

I have added a lining to mine as the fabric was just too amazing not to use for this project so I will be adding a sort of tutorial soon on how to do it.

My appologies for anyone who has downloaded the pattern for Chrysler as the last page ( the one with the abbreviations and cables) didnt download properly as Giselle has wonderfully pointed out to me! I have now changed the download so it is all there and I have included below what was missing.

Sorry for the idiocy!

Please re download the pattern with the final page or visit loumms for the abbreviations and cable guide.*********
