Bag of the Week! Basket Weave Bag

Purchase here

It's Wednesday! I can't believe how fast time is flying this year.

Alright so this week's bag is very different from previous weeks. Since I used the basket weave stitch it called for a different pattern all around. The front and back is worked in a continuous manner. The side panels are worked continuously as well going straight up into the strap and down the other side panel. The top portion is folded over and I added a metal magnetic closure. Entire bag is worked with two strands of yarn held together. This makes the bag more sturdy and leaves far less holes between pattern squares. In this case, I used Caron Simply Soft in soft green and gray heather. The color combo kind of reminds me of Easter.

I think next time I make it, I'm going to use charcoal and gray heather together. I think that would be really pretty. What do you think?
