Kittie Bag

This adorable kittie bag is a perfect gift for any cat lover and an enjoyable knitting project for crafters of all skill levels. Featuring a small amount of stranded colorwork that showcases a charming cat silhouette, this pattern is simple enough for beginners who have just learned the stranded colorwork technique and are looking to practice their skills. Start your project with a provisional cast on, and then knit the bag in the round for a seamless finish. The top edge can be finished with either a seed stitch or a 1x1 rib, adding a cozy touch to your creation. After finishing the body of the bag, you'll use a three-needle bind-off to close the bottom, seamlessly connecting it to the provisional cast on. For added functionality and style, consider incorporating a fabric insert and zipper. Finished measurements of the kittie bag are as follows: Small Bag: 7” (18 cm) wide x 6.5” (17 cm) tall, and Large Bag: 11” (28 cm) wide x 8” (20.5 cm) tall, making it a versatile accessory for daily use or storage. For this knitting pattern, we recommend using KnitPicks Mighty Stitch, a high-quality worsted weight yarn (20% Superwash Wool, 80% Acrylic; 208 yards / 100 grams). You will need: 1 skein of Black (Color 26852 – C1) for both the Small and Large bags, and 1 skein of Pucker (Color 26809 – Main Color for the small bag); for the large bag, you will need 1 skein of Cotton Candy (Color 26823 – Main Color).
