This is a fun bag to make and is perfect for anyone or any occasion, as it can be worn on one shoulder or across the body.

The stitches look great in both solid and variegated yarns so the possibilities are endless.

The pattern is written in English and uses U.S terminology.

A basic knowledge of stitches is advised but instructions and photos for special stitches are included.

You can easily substitute the yarn in the pattern for another. If changing ply simply adjust your hook size accordingly. This will however affect the finished size.
