1314 Sagitta - Bag Knitting Pattern for Women in Valley Yarns Leverett

Valley Yarns Sagitta is a fabulous fresh take on a market bag knit in Leverett, a stay-cool blend of Pima cotton and linen that is ideal for stranded colourwork. The bag features long cross-body shoulder straps and a practical and useful inside pocket. Sagitta is knit in the round from the center to the outer edge to create the base. The stranded colourwork pattern is worked in the round as the body of the bag grows vertically. The colourwork pattern is in chart form only.
