A handy bag for travelling light, but it’s bursting at the seams with beautiful blossoms of colour.

Skill Level:
Intermediate
Simple stitches used throughout, the bag is constructed using JAYG and a sewn lining so some experience with these techniques would be useful, however help is included.

Yarn:
11 balls of Bergere de France Ideal:
20307 - Brouilly (Deep red)
20555 - Cyclamen (Raspberry)
20754 - Olivine (Olive)

23587 - Mariner (Mid blue)

Or if you wish to substitute another yarn, you will need approximately:
A total of 350 yards of Sport/Lightweight DK yarn
250 yards in various colours for the blossoms
100 additional yards of your chosen bag band/handle flap colour

Hook Size:
3.5mm (US E)

Materials:

Stitch markers or pins
Bag Handle - I used a wooden ‘D’ ring handle 16cm (6.5”)

A sewing machine would be very helpful
