Bag Knitting Patterns For Any Occasion

When I first heard of bag knitting patterns, I instantly thought of felted totes. And it’s true: the vast majority of knitted bag patterns involve felting. But don’t let that scare you off… felting is as easy as tossing your knit project into a hot washing machine. These knitted bag patterns are amazingly versatile — there’s one for almost any occasion or necessity. Just a word of warning: remember that if your pattern calls for felting, you must use natural fibers like wool. If you use acrylic, it won’t “felt” properly.

No matter what type of bag you’re looking for, you’ll find it with these patterns: 1. Purse This super stylish purse is called 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea because the original look reminded the designer of seaweed. With its bright colors, funky design, and cool style, though, it definitely won’t make you look like you’re carting around a bunch of plankton. This is a must see if you need a new purse. 2. Knitted Grocery Bag (no felting!) Who says you can’t make a knit bag pattern without felting? This grocery bag begs to differ — it makes a cute alternative to those unattractive reusable things grocery stores try to sell you for two or three bucks (what are they thinking?). 3.
