Mitred Square Bags 004

Introducing the versatile Mitred Squares technique, also known as Domino Knitting or Modular Knitting—a fantastic patchwork method that allows you to create stunning bags with minimal sewing. By knitting individual squares and picking them up from adjacent pieces, you'll find that this innovative approach not only simplifies the process but also allows for endless creative possibilities.

The bag's size can be customized based on the type of yarn you choose. For a stylish small handbag measuring 9x8x2 inches, opt for 4ply yarn. If you're seeking a larger handbag, go for DK yarn to achieve dimensions of 12x10x2.5 inches. For those who need something bigger, a chunky yarn will give you a spacious tote bag that measures 17x15x3.5 inches, perfect for all your essentials.

Below are the detailed specifications you need to get started with your own Mitred Squares bag:

• 4ply: Needle size 3.25mm, finished dimensions 23 x 20 x 5 cm, yarn requirement 225 metres (246 yds)
• DK: Needle size 4mm, finished dimensions 30 x 26 x 6.5 cm, yarn requirement 300 metres (327 yds)
