When sunshine hits the beach, it’s time to prepare your new summer wardrobe. But your summertime wardrobe isn’t just clothes…..you won’t be ready for the beach without your own knitted beach bag! Worked in one piece, with a double fabric lining, magnetic snap closure and braided handles, this bag will make you the star of the beach. Embellish with seashells or your own handmade appliqués for your own personal touch.

NOTE: Because of the stitch pattern, this project is especially well suited to interchangeable circular needles, which allow for the frequent changing of needle sizes.
