Weymouth Shoulder Bag Knitting Pattern

Stop off at the ice-cream stand then head for a day at the beach with a shoulder bag in colourful stripes of strawberry, apricot and lemon ice. The Weymouth Shoulder Bag is the perfect size for all the accessories you need for a day on the sands. The bag is worked in a crisp cotton yarn and is lined with a lightweight cotton fabric for a versatile summer holdall. It features long knitted handles and the base includes a canvas mesh insert for extra support.

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