Cramond Bag

Discover the elegant charm of this slip stitch pattern shoulder bag, an excellent project that adds sophistication to your knitting repertoire. Utilizing West Yorkshire Spinners The Croft Shetland Colours Aran, this design is worked on smaller needles to create a firm and durable fabric, perfect for a stylish yet sturdy accessory. Notably, both the bag and the strap are fully lined, providing an elevated finish and extra durability.

All components of this knitting pattern are crafted flat, making it straightforward for knitters of various skill levels. You’ll begin with the base of the bag, expertly picking up stitches to knit the front. Following that, you will similarly pick up stitches along the base to create the back, which mirrors the front design. The straps are ingeniously designed in two parts, which are then sewn together with a delightful overlap, ensuring both functionality and style.

This project requires a total of five 100g skeins of West Yorkshire Spinners 'The Croft Shetland Colours Aran' (Aran weight; 100% wool, 166m/182yds per 100g skein), making it an accessible yet rewarding endeavor. The color breakdown is as follows: --- A Voxter (099): 2 skeins --- B Belmont (554): 2 skeins --- C Sullom (010): 1 skein. With these vibrant hues, your finished shoulder bag will not only be practical but also a beautiful statement piece in your collection.

Whether you're looking for a unique gift idea or want to treat yourself, this slip stitch shoulder bag pattern is a fantastic knitting project that combines texture, style, and craftsmanship. Embrace your creativity and enjoy the process of knitting with this delightful pattern!
