A gingham check pouch made with Vintage Wool, a yarn perfect for colorwork. With short colorwork intervals, this project is a great introduction to Fair Isle knitting. Simple repeating patterns allow you to create a neat and eye-catching check design.

From sewing the bottom to knitting the i-cord strap, every detail is handmade, making this pouch a piece full of delicate craftsmanship. Since the pattern is worked using two-handed colorwork, it may be a little challenging for beginners.

The full video tutorial covers everything in detail, including two-handed colorwork techniques, how to adjust the size, and how to create smooth colorwork without puckering. Once you are comfortable with the basic techniques, give this project a try!
