Unlock your creativity with our delightful knitting pattern for a smart little bag, perfect for carrying your essentials or gifting to a friend. This quick and easy bag pattern is ideal for knitters looking to try their hand at knitting in the round.

Choose between two charming styles: the classic stocking stitch version requires just 2 x 50g of Twilleys Freedom Echo DK (featured in stylish shade 901 - natural), while the cozy garter stitch variation utilizes 3 x 50g of Twilleys Freedom Echo DK (shown in vibrant shade 903 - blue). Both options are not only practical but also showcase a beautiful, polished finish.

For the stocking stitch version, the specified tension/gauge is essential: 22 stitches and 28 rows in stocking stitch in the round to achieve a 10cm square. If you opt for the garter stitch version, aim for 15 stitches and 27 rows in garter stitch in the round, using yarn held double for the same measurement. This attention to detail ensures your bag will have the perfect shape and durability.

One of the most appealing aspects of this pattern is that no seaming is required! The bag is seamlessly knitted in the round and elegantly finished with a fabulous fringe at the bottom. For an extra touch of sophistication, cast off with a stylish I-cord to create a smart top edge. You can add a luxurious leather strap for an upscale finish or opt to create your own knitted strap if you prefer a personalized touch. Just make sure to incorporate a hole and knot big enough to secure it in place.

This comprehensive pattern provides clear instructions for both the stocking stitch and garter stitch versions, making it suitable for knitters at various skill levels. Perfect for a personal project or as a thoughtful gift, this stylish bag is sure to impress. So grab your needles, and let’s get started on this delightful knitting adventure!
