Rambling rose shoulder bag
Discover the charm of folk art with our vibrant, double-knitted, self-lined shoulder bag knitting pattern! This eye-catching design allows for endless customization in terms of color schemes and yarn types, giving you the freedom to express your creativity. The beauty of this project lies in its relaxed tension requirements; achieving exact tension is not a concern, making it perfect for knitters of all skill levels. My personal creation fits A4 pages and magazines comfortably, making it ideal for daily use.
This unique bag is expertly knitted as one continuous piece, with the sides seamlessly joined using slip-stitch crochet. The handle is cleverly incorporated into the bag itself and is joined using a technique called grafting, ensuring a professional finish. Once completed, the bag measures 35.5 × 31.5 cm (14 × 12.375 inches), excluding the handle, and is 80 cm (31.5 inches) in total length when including the handle.
The sample bag uses Morris Estate 8 ply yarn—available at Morris & Sons—but feel free to experiment with any other DK yarn you love! To help you select the best materials, I’ve also provided suggested quantities and color options for Cascade 220 Sport, which you can find at Loveknitting.
Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting your knitting journey, this shoulder bag pattern is a delightful project that combines functionality with artistic flair. Don't miss the chance to create a beautiful, one-of-a-kind accessory that reflects your personal style!
