Knitted bags are all the rage right now, and knitted or crocheted bags look great season by season. When it comes to handmade accessories, as you well know, I think simple is best. So, I thought I would design a really straightforward, approachable for advanced beginners and fun for seasoned knitters style knitted bag. It is knitted throughout in garter stitch and features an interesting wide opening which acts as its handles. This is a really cool bag that is knit flat and then seamed at the sides, making it super quick, super easy, and super fun to customise if you choose.
