Southampton Book Bag Knitting Pattern

The Southampton Book Bag is worked in a wonderfully textured knitting stitch and features long contrasting handles and a dyed canvas liner to match. On the inside there is a key tab with a carabiner loop so you can quickly find your house keys or library card. The bag is both classic yet sophisticated, and is roomy enough for all your latest finds at the bookstore or for a quick visit to the grocery store.

Note:The pattern for the Southampton Book Bag is also included in the Southampton Collection, which features five fabric-lined bags. Please see my LoveCrafts listings for more information.
