It’s a beautiful summers day out, nice walk through some fields, enjoying the sunshine, watching the sheep, blue skies, waiting under a tree for the little rain shower to end … oh look a rainbow

All captured in this adorable little 3D handbag with a sunshine charm acting as a trolley coin holder. An absolute eye catcher.

An easy - intermediate project,
familiar stitches as well as updated modern twists. Unique and easily customisable motives to make gifts for loved ones. Who wouldn’t love a rainbow bag…

Works well with acrylic yarn or head straight for cotton for extra strength.
The bag measures 22cm tall from top of the rainbow handle down to the double base. The base itself measures 16cm in diameter, enough room for phone, keys, hand sanitizer, snacks…

You will use less then a skein each of the 3 main colours in Chunky (bulky) yarn and only small amounts of DK for all the appliques and the rainbow - great stash buster for those little bits of yarn in the cupboard.
You will need 4 different hooks: 2.5mm, 3mm, 5mm and 5.5mm

Gauge: (2.5mm/ DK) 10 rows x 10 dc (US sc) = 1.5’’
(5mm) 10 rows x 10 dc (US sc) = 2.5’’
