Watercolor Bag (Felted)
This vibrant and playful bag is a true delight for knitters and fashion enthusiasts alike! Featuring a stunning array of colors, this bag is expertly knit with just three balls of Noro Kureyon or any other slowly self-striping yarn, making it a perfect project for those looking to showcase their creativity. The sample bags utilize three different colorways in one stylish purse, all while integrating a few unifying colors to bring harmony to the design. The solid-colored accents, such as the bottom of the bag and the I-cord handles, are crafted from a coordinating solid feltable yarn, enhancing both style and durability.
The unique construction of this bag, using only one strand of yarn, results in a soft, lightweight feel that sets it apart from other similar felted bags on the market. This approach not only provides comfort but also keeps costs down, making it an affordable project at your local yarn shop. Once finished, the bag measures approximately 7 inches by 11 inches at the base and stands 12 inches tall—just the perfect size for everyday use.
Yarn: For this eye-catching bag, you will need Noro Kureyon, a worsted weight, single-ply feltable multicolored wool. Gather three (3) 50gm balls in related but distinct colorways. Alternatively, you can choose to work with a single colorway in Kureyon, or mix things up with two skeins of one colorway and one skein of another for a unique twist. Additionally, you will require 220 yards of a worsted-weight feltable solid yarn in a complementary colorway to complete the design.
Needle: A size 10.5 US/6.5 mm 24-inch circular needle is recommended, although you can use any size that suits your gauge. This flexibility allows you to customize the project to your liking.
