Crocus Bag

Introducing a beautiful and lightweight summer bag that's perfect for carrying your essentials while soaking up the sun! This delightful piece is expertly knitted in the round, featuring a charming strap that requires minimal sewing. Crafted on smaller needles, the bag achieves a firmer, more durable fabric, ensuring it withstands your summer adventures without compromising on style.

The unique stitch pattern comes from volume three of the classic 1980s English knitting series, Creative Knitting, though details of the publisher are not available in this edition. To add a touch of versatility, you can easily create a gathered top by incorporating a K1, P1 rib for the band, allowing you to customize the fit and keep your belongings secure. Remember, a woven fabric is recommended for lining the bag, enhancing its overall structure and providing an elegant finish.

This light and lacy knitted bag is not only a practical accessory but also a fashion statement for any summer outing—perfect for picnics, beach days, or market trips! Ideal for knitters of all skill levels, this pattern offers a lovely opportunity to develop your knitting skills while creating a functional piece that you’ll cherish for years to come.
