Pomona Bottlebag is a small bag designed to hold your water bottle. The project begins with a stockinette stitch base, shaped using increases and decreases. Stitches are then picked up and knitted along the edge of the base, and the bag is worked in the round in stranded colourwork following a chart. The piece is finished with a ribbed edge and a strap.

Tension:
24 sts and 30 rows in stranded colourwork using size 3.5 mm needles = 10 x 10 cm (measured after washing)

Size:
One size

Finished measurements:
Circumference: 23 cm
Length: 20 cm
Length of strap: 70 cm.

Yarn:
Finull from Rauma (50 g = 175 m):

Col B: 50 g
Col C: 50 g

You won’t need a full skein for any of the colours – leftover yarn will work just fine.

Materials:
3 and 3.5 mm double pointed needles (or circular needles, if you’re using the magic loop technique)
