Name: Knitted Loop Bag
Brand: Handmadepast

Irene Israel has created a playful design that will appeal to newer knitters looking to craft a useful accessory practising only basic stitches, and to anyone who enjoys experimenting with colour! In the featured colourway, seven shades of Scheepjes Softfun are layered in contrasting stripes of varying widths, creating a vibrant version of the Knitted Loop Bag. The top edge and asymmetrical handles are knitted in textured moss stitch, which looks just as good on the reverse, and gives durability to this handy tote measuring 30 x 41cm (plus handles). It can hold a surprising amount! Simply slip the longer handle through the shorter one to close the bag and keep contents safely enclosed.

Handmadepast

Hey, I am Irene and I am the designer of Handmadepast. I live in an old listed building from 1760, 7km from the sea in the Netherlands. I have a sweet little studio there with a real bedstead! I love knitting and crochet, of course, but also quilting, embroidery and everything you can make with fabric, as well as playing tennis, reading and travelling.From an early age, I learned to knit and had a penchant for learning all sorts of things you could make with your hands... even carpentry, glass engraving, painting... you name it.My designs and inspiration come mostly from nature and from the beautiful trips we have taken. I was also an agent for various baby and children's brands for a long time and this fondness is also reflected in my designs. I love playful, colourful, cheerful but also sweet, vintage and cosy.I hope my designs inspire people to get creative themselves. And hope they become as enthusiastic about working with balls of wool as I am.You can find my designs on my website, Ravelry and Etsy
