I sold the rights to this bag to the publisher. It was selling quite well on ebay until then.

Listed as pattern #75 in the book.

Please note that the photo IN THE BOOK is very yellow and does not accurately model the colors. My photo is dead on. They switched out the button to a black one for the book…..my button was a little less chic. I preferred their button selection to mine.

Right after I started selling this a few other designers came out with “bagette” bags that resembled mine……I like to be ahead of the trends:) I have had that happen before, where I procrastinated a wee too long and the next thing I knew, I see the a design very similar to mine has hit the market. I SHALL NOT PROCRASTINATE….I SHALL NOT PROCRASTINATE…….

It is very simple to knit and assemble.

Making it in a striped design is a fantastic way to use up any wool scraps that you may have from other projects.
