Fun Felted Saddlebag

Introducing our beautifully crafted saddle-bag knitting pattern! This unique design is expertly made in one cohesive piece, extending from the cast-on (CO) to the flap. The body part is steeked, providing a sturdy base, while the flap is showcased in a charming slip-stitch pattern that is knit flat. To complete this stylish bag, the strap features a coordinated slip-stitch pattern that is seamlessly knit onto the sides and then joined with a 3-needle bind-off (3nbo) on the opposite side.

This pattern also includes a delightful smaller accessories bag, perfect for storing cable needles and other essential knitting accessories, which is felted to a thick texture and made in the contrasting color (CC). With this pattern, you’ll need three different yarns for the entire project: approximately 400 yards of Main Color (MC), 250 yards of Color 1 (CC1), and 100 yards of Color 2 (CC2). For the sample, we recommend using Knit Picks' Wool of the Andes Bulky, which works wonderfully with this design.

For knitters looking to expand their skills, the ability to read charts is a plus for this design. Both the colorwork and slip-stitch patterns are provided in both charted and written formats, making it easier for you to follow along. This saddle-bag knitting pattern is an excellent project to practice advanced techniques like steeking, colorwork, and slip-stitch knitting—whether you're a seasoned knitter or trying it for the first time!
