Discover the joy of knitting with this delightful and practical fold-flat bag pattern! Ideal for both beginners and seasoned knitters, this fun project is crafted using just 2 x 100g skeins of Aran weight yarn. The foundation of the bag begins with a provisional cast-on method to create a perfectly shaped base square. From there, you will pick up stitches to knit the sides and handles, resulting in a completely seamless and tidy bag design. Say goodbye to sewing and hello to effortless crafting—NO SEWING UP REQUIRED! Inspired by the traditional Japanese Bento bag, this innovative knitting pattern perfectly adapts a classic sewn design into a beautiful knit accessory. By simply adding a button to the finished strap, you can transform your bag into a sturdy shoulder bag, while also ensuring it remains secure when tied and held in hand. One of the best features of this pattern is its versatility—you can easily adjust the size to create larger or smaller bags based on your needs. Just swap out yarn quantities to suit your desired dimensions, making this pattern perfect for quick gifts or personal use. Whether you’re looking for the ideal shopping bag, a stylish carry-all for everyday essentials, or a unique handmade gift, this fold-flat bag is a fantastic choice.
