Houndstooth Boulevard Bag

This stylish and functional bag showcases a classic houndstooth check pattern, elevated by a vibrant pop of color and an oversized decorative button. While red is a traditional accent that complements the timeless design, consider experimenting with unexpected hues like lime green or bright acid yellow for a fresh, modern twist that truly stands out.

Notes: This eye-catching pattern is cleverly designed to be worked as a rectangle for the base of the bag. After completing the rectangle, you'll pick up stitches around the other three sides and seamlessly join to work in the round. The bag handles are crafted as continuous extensions, giving a sleek look, and are then expertly grafted together at the center for added stability and aesthetics.

Yarn: For this beautiful bag, we recommend using Valley Yarns Northampton Worsted, a high-quality yarn made from 100% wool. Each skein provides approximately 247 yards (223 meters) and weighs 100 grams. You will need 1 skein each of Charcoal Gray, Natural, and Red to bring your houndstooth handbag to life.
