French Market Bag by PetiteKnit

The French Market Bag is worked from the bottom up. The bottom is flat and it is worked as a growing circle in the round on double-pointed needles, while the sides of the bag are worked in the round in the knotted openwork pattern on a circular needle. The top of the bag is finished with an i-cord edge. The lining is sewn with the same construction as the bag and then sewn onto the finished bag. At the end, the leather straps are sewn onto the top of the bag.

In this yarn kit we knit our with OEKO-TEX certified Önling No 21, which gives a range of beautiful colors to choose from. We also have knitting kits with the original yarn Japanese Cotton, or Isager yarns Organic cotton and Trio. See all versions of French Market Bag here.
