Knitting pattern "lovely things" - market bag, beach bag, gift wrap...

This bag is unique – and a very special gift for a beloved person, including yourself. You can use it as a bag for light shopping, as small beach bag or even as a “gift wrap” 😊 Maybe you will store your next knitting project or some balls of yarn in it… I’m sure you will find a purpose for this lovely hand-knitted bag.

The pattern explains very detailed how you can create this bag, so even advanced beginners will succeed. And if there should be any questions, I`ll be happy to help!
