EDDA Bag 2.0
The casual shopping net is the ultimate summertime companion, perfect for outings or days at the beach. This lightweight and airy bag is not only stylish but also practical, making it an essential accessory for your summertime adventures.
This delightful bag is knitted using a simple lace pattern featuring yarn overs, giving it an elegant and unique look. The construction begins with the mesh worked flat, and the bag takes its shape thanks to a beautifully crafted border. The knitting pattern includes two exciting variants: the classic version with a garter stitch border and a fresh, trendy alternative featuring a ribbed border for those who want to explore different textures and styles.
In this pattern, you will learn a variety of essential knitting techniques, including Provisional Cast On, working a Lace pattern with yarn overs, Backwards Loop Cast On, picking up stitches from the bumps on the garter stitch edge, and the Kitchener Stitch for a seamless finish. These skills not only elevate your knitting technique but also enhance your crafting repertoire.
