PetiteKnit Florence Bag knitting pattern

The instruction for the PetiteKnit Florence Bag is an A5-sized high-quality print magazine. The instructions are available in both Finnish and English.

An excellent yarn option for the instructions is BC Garn Allino -linen cotton yarn knitted double.

Florence Bag is worked seamlessly from the top down. First, a stockinette stitch edge is worked, then the sides of the bag are worked in the round in a lace pattern. The bottom is worked in a lace pattern with decreases. Finally, a lining is sewn and then sewn into the bag and a leather strap is attached. The accompanying purse is worked from the top down. The bottom is sewn together with Kitchener Stitch. Finally, a lining is sewn and then sewn into the purse.

The pattern includes the sewing instructions for the lining.
