My Little Red Pouch



What first attracted me to this pattern (Swirling bag from Knitting Daily TV) was the use several bright colours all in perfect harmony with each other. And I ended up making it in a single colour! :-)

I used some shiny acrylic and quite like the sheen it gave the bag. Also, I made my stitches through the back loop only – this gave the texture some ridges and slightly changed the bag’s dimensions. The final touch was some ribbon embroidery, also in the same colour, and I was done.

This was a completely fun project to take on and was made as a gift for my mother. I just love how it turned out.
