For a quick and easy gift, why not try this cute bag, which uses simple stitches, with the added flourish of cute handles and buttons.

Made in one piece, in Linen Stitch, there is no need to line this bag.

It takes just one 100g ball, or around 176 yards of chunky/bulky weight yarn to make this bag.

The finished bag is just big enough to fit phone, money and key, or use it as a mini project bag - a sock project will fit in easily.
