Lenea Bag, knitfelted bag & basket pattern in 10 sizes

You can never own enough bags and baskets and they never seem to be big enough once you fill them. Knitfelted bags kindly grow a bit if you have a bit more than expected to take along with you. Or you might want to give away a small present, but lack a nice container for it? What can be more personal than a selfmade knitfelted basket.

Lenea has two “faces” and is knit in stripes and doublepatches, which are explained in detail. The pattern shows step by step photos and contains examples for five sizes as well as stitch numbers and yarn amount needed for ten sizes. Additionally, you find detailed instructions how to individualise your bag.

Very detailed pattern, 11 pages, with many photos and step by step photos. Easy to follow photo tutorials on knitting stitches together. Workshop for other yarns and sizes.

Written explanation for the different stitches also in the legend.
