The Plan Your Escape bag is thoughtfully created with an I-Cord closure, enabling both ease of carrying and secure storage for your beloved items. This versatile design ensures that everything you tuck away stays safe while you’re on the go.
This engaging pattern is worked in the round, moving from the bottom to the top, guiding you through each step with clarity and simplicity. With its unique design and construction, this bag is not just a knitting project; it’s a journey through color and creativity!
Bag Dimensions: When completed, this bag boasts a flat width of 11 [18] cm/4.5 [7] inches and a height of 15 [19] cm/6 [7.5] inches, making it the perfect size for your daily essentials.
Materials Required: To embark on this knitting adventure, you will need 8 ply/DK yarn in three contrasting colors: 100 m/110 yards (50g) for Colour A, 60 [100] m/65 [110] yards for Colour B, and 10 [15] m/10 [15] yards for Colour C. You may also want to reserve 15 [20] m/15 [20] yards for scraps used in the Ribbon stitch edging. For added charm, consider using an optional button of 1.5 inches (3.75 cm) in diameter and a stitch marker to assist with your project.
While gauge is not strictly critical, keep in mind that it will influence both the overall size of your finished bag and the amount of yarn you will use, making it worthwhile to pay attention to your stitch tension.
This pattern is perfect for adventurous beginners! With a straightforward approach to coloring — single color per round for the colorwork and techniques for creating both the I-Cord and its applied version — you’ll be amazed at what you can achieve.
So, gather your materials, unleash your creativity, and Plan Your Escape with this charming mosaic bag pattern that is sure to inspire your love for knitting!
