Product Description
The BobbleWrap Bag is a cute and funky bobble-textured bag, fun to knit and fun to carry (one pattern tester said it's "like walking around with bubble wrap").
The pattern comes with instructions for either knitting a strap or attaching a separate strap with knitted tabs and contains a link to instructions for lining the bag. It contains a chart as well as instructions for the oval bottom of the purse to help show where your increases should fall as well as pictures of the bag in progress to illustrate crucial steps. It uses U.S. terminology.
This pattern is a knitted version of Charissa Pray’s crocheted The Cobblestone Handbag, developed in cooperation with her.
The BobbleWrap Bag by Rebekah Wilce
What is Being Made
The BobbleWrap Bag is a knitted handbag designed by Rebekah Wilce and Charissa Pray. This intermediate-level project creates a soft, cushy accessory featuring satisfying texture throughout. The bag is described as a fabulous and funky addition to any wardrobe, combining practical functionality with eye-catching visual interest.
Techniques Used
This knitting pattern employs bobble stitch techniques as the primary textural element, which creates the dimensional, tactile quality that defines the bag's appearance. The pattern offers flexibility in construction, with options for either a separate non-knitted strap or a fully knitted strap, allowing makers to choose their preferred approach based on skill level and preference.
Stitches Used
The pattern features bobble stitches as the signature stitch throughout the design. These raised, dimensional stitches create the cushy, textured surface that gives the BobbleWrap Bag its distinctive character and satisfying tactile appeal.
Materials and Yarn Weight
The BobbleWrap Bag pattern is designed to work with worsted weight yarn, either used at its standard weight or held double for added bulk and texture. The pattern samples were created using:
- Rowan Pure Wool Superwash Worsted (219 yards per 100 grams): approximately 2 skeins (438 yards/400 meters) for a version with a separate non-knitted strap, or approximately 3 skeins (657 yards/600 meters) for a version with a knitted strap
- Knit Picks Mighty Stitch Bulky (136 yards per 100 grams): approximately 275 yards/251 meters for a version with a knitted strap—though this yarn is not recommended for this pattern due to its slick texture, which does not showcase the bobbles effectively
Makers may also substitute bulky or super bulky weight yarn as alternatives to worsted weight yarn held double, providing options for customizing the final texture and drape of the finished bag.
Difficulty Level
This pattern is rated as intermediate difficulty, making it suitable for knitters with some experience who are ready to work with textured stitches and bag construction techniques.
Commercial Use
Crafters are welcome to sell bags made using this pattern. Attribution to the pattern designers and a link to their Etsy shop (etsy.com/shop/CharissaPrayDesigns) is appreciated in any product listings.
