1/7

by Jairlyn Mason

This pattern was inspired bythe yarn I used to make it --

my favorite place to find

inspiration.

The bag has diamond stitch

panels running vertically upthe body of the bag.

The handles act as both

handle and closure making iteasy to knit and use. Simply

twist one handle, then pass

the other handle through thehole, and youre good to go!

The smaller size [green] wasmy original vision, but I

found myself inclined to

include a larger version [red]for those of us, myself

included, that have to take it

all with us.
