Right Angle Bag
Introducing the Right Angle Bag! Inspired by the Right Angle Jacket pattern, I knit the jacket in 2023. Overflowing with leftover yarn, Unsure what to cast on next, this delightful idea took shape – to design this charming bag, a perfect complement to any outfit!
The bag is a one size only pattern but could easily be modified if needed. It has a closing top flap with a button and a handy pocket for cards. This bag is small but can easily hold any size phone.
The bag is worked in a unique way, knitting color angle by angle, creating a front panel, a back panel and a pocket all severely. Seamed together with an I cord. Finally picking up stitches at the top back to then work up the closing flap panel, which is followed by an i cord edge to seal the final look. You can Choose to knit this bag with or without the button.
The strap is an I Cord strap that is worked up separately and sewn and attached to a bag clasp.
