Blossoming Bag
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)
20846 - Chenas (Plum)
20933 - Linaire (Soft blue)
22375 - Balladone (Soft violet)

23026 - Danseuse (Soft pink)
23587 - Mariner (Mid blue)
24109 - Vitamine (Orange)

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:
Yarn Needle
Stitch markers or pins
Bag Handle - I used a wooden ‘D’ ring handle 16cm (6.5”)
Fabric for the lining (2 pieces, approx 10 x 16”)
A sewing machine would be very helpful

22cm (8.5”) wide by 20cm (8”) high. Not including handles

Gauge isn’t critical but you may need to adjust your fabric requirements if your gauge is different.
