Moss Green Knitted Handbag

Yeah! I've got another project completed and I'm so excited about it :-)

I found another of my uncompleted projects that just needed a lining to be finished. I started off with Lion Brand's Wool-Ease chunky yarn in the color Moss.



When using a chunky yarn and size 15 or 17 needles, you can EASILY whip out a simple knitted handbag in no time! This is another of my winter time projects from sitting in front of the TV, catching up on shows via Netflix.

Starting with my size 15 circular needles, I cast on 50 stitches. The pattern is an alternating knit, purl and cable pattern. Really using any pattern that fits into 50 stitches (which has become the magical number for me) will work. BUT, if a more intricate design is used, you may have to consider increasing the number of stitches a bit AND using any even bigger needle so the stitches show :-)







I used faux black bamboo handles and wrapped the yarn around them while sewing into the handbag body to get them attached. The lining is a cotton fabric in a black and white damask pattern. I used a magnetic silver snaps inside. I ironed on fusible batting behind the snaps to give it more stability.

This item is for sale here.
