Summer is here – and now let's knit a bag that will delight both in everyday life and at parties!
What better summer project for your cottage, terrace or city life than a beautiful, handmade bag? A handmade bag combines the joy of knitting with everyday practicality, and best of all – these projects are quick to complete. I was completely obsessed with knitted bags last summer, so I can’t wait to share them with you! In this blog post you will find instructions for this summer’s most beautiful bags that you can use right away 💛
Florence Bag – a timeless knitted bag for summer fun
PetiteKnit's Florence Bag is a perennial knitter's favorite, delighting year after year with its beauty and practicality. It's hard not to love this bag, as it's perfect for everyday wear or for a special occasion due to its simplicity and elegance. The Florence bag is easy to carry anywhere thanks to its small size, and I can tell you from experience that you can't avoid compliments with this bag!
Sienna Bag – a carefree, beautiful shoulder bag in knitter style
Another of my favorite small knit bags is the adorable Sienna Bag . PetiteKnit's Sienna Bag is perfect for any outfit and has a classic charm. Despite its small size, the Sienna Bag can hold everything you need. – wallet, phone, sunglasses and maybe a small knitting project. The Sienna Bag is the perfect project when you need a small but useful knit for the holidays. I recommend the Sienna Bag primarily for more experienced knitters due to the few more challenging details in the pattern.
French Market Bag – an airy mesh bag for summer days
The PetiteKnit French Market Bag is the perfect combination of practicality and casual summer vibe. This classic mesh bag is perfect for taking with you to the market, the patio, or the beach - wherever the summer day takes you. The French Market Bag pattern is beginner-friendly and easy to knit. The end result is an airy and slightly stretchy bag that can easily hold things like beach essentials. And best of all, it packs down small, so it's easy to take with you on trips.
Technicolor Tote Bag – a cheerful knitted bag with fresh tones
The PetiteKnit Technicolor Tote Bag is like summer in bag form: full of color, joy and a laid-back attitude. In this bag, you can combine your favorite colors and create a look that is just yours. The tote-style bag is practical for everyday use and is perfect for a small picnic, for example, for a trip to the yarn store or as a shopping bag for the summer market. Through colors and textures, you can create a lovely, personal accessory from the bag that will delight you in other seasons as well.
The lovely Technicolor Tote Bag has also ended up on my own needles and you can now find a sample of it in the shop. I knitted my own Technicolor Tote Bag in triple layers with BC Garni's Allino yarn, which also goes great with the other bags in this post! The Technicolor Tote Bag also comes out beautifully Knitted with two strands of Kremken Vegan Cashmere yarn. Another perfect summer yarn that is suitable for all the bags I have recommended is Isager's Japansk Bomuld .
