The zebra bag pattern

**Trendy Knitted Bag Pattern: Stand Out with Style** This fashionable and up-to-date knitted bag is guaranteed to catch the attention of everyone around you; prepare for compliments and questions about where you purchased it! This stylish accessory combines practicality with a chic design, making it the perfect addition to your wardrobe. **Finished Dimensions:** The finished size of this eye-catching bag measures 10 inches (25 cm) in width and 7 inches (17 cm) in height after felting. The shoulder strap, also designed for comfort and style, is 15.8 inches (40 cm) long, ensuring it sits perfectly on your shoulder. **Materials Needed:** - **Yarn:** For this project, you will need 100% wool in the Worsted category. We recommend using „Classiso“ El.Mouzakis yarn, available in 50 grams (1.76 oz) skeins with a length of 112.5 m (123 yds). You will require 4 skeins in black and 4 skeins in white for the perfect contrast. - **Needles:** This pattern requires US 10.5 (7 mm) circular needles, US 7 (4.5 mm) circular needles, and US 10 (6 mm) double-pointed needles (DPN). Be sure to adjust the needle size to achieve the correct gauge. - **Notions:** Essential items include stitch markers and a tapestry needle to help with finishing touches. **Gauge Information:** Achieve a gauge of 16 stitches x 20 rows, measuring 10 x 10 cm (4” x 4”), in stockinette stitch while working on colourwork (stranding). **Skill Level:** This intermediate-level project requires knowledge of basic knitting techniques, including knitting and purling, picking up stitches, working in the round on circular needles, and stranding for colorwork. You'll also need to know how to knit an I-cord and perform some simple hand-sewing to complete your bag. **Construction Details:** The bag is constructed in the round without turning, starting with a rectangular base. You will then pick up stitches around all four edges to knit the bag’s body, gradually working it up to the top. This innovative construction technique not only enhances the bag’s durability but also provides a unique look. Show off your handiwork and enjoy the compliments that will undoubtedly come your way. Whether you are looking for a fashionable everyday bag or a unique gift for a fellow knitting enthusiast, this trendy knitted bag pattern is the perfect choice.
