Weymouth Shoulder Bag
Stop off at the ice-cream stand then head for a day at the beach with a shoulder bag in colourful stripes of strawberry, apricot and lemon ice. The Weymouth Shoulder Bag is the perfect size for all the accessories you need for a day on the sands.
The bag is worked in a crisp cotton yarn and is lined with a lightweight cotton fabric for a versatile summer holdall. It features long knitted handles and the base includes a canvas mesh insert for extra support.
NB: This pattern is also included in the “Southampton Collection” which includes patterns for five fabric-lined bags.
