Dorothy bag

When my granny was a little girl back in the 1910s and early 1920s, receiving treats in a charming little “Dorothy bag" was a cherished weekly event. She often reminisces about how these bags represented a touch of luxury and joy in her childhood. This nostalgic connection inspired the creation of our delightful knitting pattern for these enchanting bags.
These little Dorothy bags can be knitted up quickly and require only a tiny amount of yarn—about 5-10 grams of DK (Double Knitting) yarn. One of the joys of this pattern is its versatility; you can easily adjust the size to accommodate what you wish to fill them with! Whether you're preparing wedding favours, crafting gift bags for little girls’ birthday parties, or creating special Christmas presents, these bags will add a unique touch to any occasion. The provided instructions yield a perfect size for holding sweets or beads, but feel free to enlarge them for storing soap, little bottles of toiletries, or other small treasures.

We’re excited to share that this pattern has undergone thorough test-knitting, proving that it not only looks lovely but also knits up beautifully! The design lends itself wonderfully to embellishment, allowing you to add your personal flair and creativity.
While the pattern itself must not be reproduced, you are free to sell items created from this pattern at craft fairs or charity stalls, helping to spread the joy of handmade gifts. If you decide to knit this charming pattern, we would love to hear your feedback and see your creations! Join the community of knitters embracing the beauty and nostalgia of the Dorothy bag—where every stitch brings a touch of cherished memory and luxury to life.
