Teardrop Dream Bag

Discover the charm of this enchanting teardrop-shaped bag, expertly crafted with a wide seed stitch border, center garter stitches, and delicate eyelets for a unique texture contrast. This versatile design not only serves as a stylish accessory for various occasions—such as weddings, dining out, or casual outings—but also doubles as a decorative piece to elegantly hold soaps and potpourri in your home.

For the drawstring, you can create a beautiful i-cord or opt for your favorite ribbon to complete the look. Personalizing this bag is easy; leave it unlined for a simple finish or line it with a pre-hemmed handkerchief, pocket square, or any fabric of your choice. To add an even more personal touch, consider featuring an embroidered lining or one adorned with monogrammed initials, making it a perfect gift for loved ones.

This knitting pattern requires a set of straight needles and a pair of double-pointed needles (U.S. size 6), making it accessible for knitters of various skill levels. The suggested yarn is 75-90 yards of 100% superwash wool yarn in a worsted weight, though other yarn types can also be used to give your bag a unique texture and appearance.

The finished bag measures 15 inches from cast on to fasten off points, with a width of 14 inches at its widest point when measured along the curved fold. The included i-cord drawstring stretches to a length of 28 inches, providing ample tie-down options for security and style.
