Bags of Festive Fun

If you have a delightful stash of colorful yarn waiting to be used, you'll adore creating these vibrant drawstring bags. These charming bags are not only fun to design but also quick to knit, making them perfect projects for knitters of all skill levels. Ideal for decorating your Christmas tree, gifting at children's parties, or selling at craft fairs and bazaars, these bags will surely bring joy. Featuring playful designs of Santa Claus, a cheerful snowman, a delightful robin, and an adorable teddy bear, each character is knitted separately and skillfully stitched onto your bag of choice. With three different sizes of bags available to knit, you can customize your creations to suit your needs.

To get started on your knitting adventure, you’ll need straight needles in sizes 4mm and 2.75mm, which correspond to US sizes 6 and 2. This pattern is designed for DK (double knitting) yarn, which is known as light worsted in the USA and 8 ply in Australia, ensuring a soft and sturdy finish for your bags.
