You’ll get a kiss from the Irishman (or woman) of your dreams when you give this Irish Coffee Gift Bag for St. Patrick’s Day (or any other day).

Knit up in smooth Linen Stitch, this bag is worked in the round so you never have to do that pesky wrong-side row. Make a twisted rope as pictured, or use an i-cord, a crocheted chain, or a length of twine to run through the eyelets and close up this charming satchel. For an Irish coffee, include a bag of your favorite java and a bottle of Bailey’s. For a non-alcoholic treat skip the Irish cream and add a box of Andes mints.

May the road ever rise to meet your feet.
