The Horsetooth Handbag is knit in one-piece and then the sides are seamed together. The beautiful stitch pattern is tightly knit using 3 strands of yarn so that a bag liner is not required. For an easy way to knit with 3 strands without having to roll 3 separate balls of yarn, see my YouTube video tutorial of the “Navajo 3-Ply Technique” here: https://youtu.be/yjqkk6H2v7w
The handbag was knit on a 3/4” gauge, 41-peg yellow Knifty Knitter round loom. It requires approximately 475 yards of a worsted weight yarn. Red Heart Super Saver in Soft Navy was used in the sample. The bag is 11" tall x 13" wide (excluding handles).
The pattern includes photo tutorials of the mock crochet stitch and the half hitch cast on to aid the knitter. As such, the pattern is suitable for a confident advanced beginner who has mastered the basic skills of loom knitting.
UPDATE: This pattern now includes instructions for making both an 11” x 13” handbag (navy bag in pictures) AND a 14.5” x 12” tote bag (purple bag in pictures).
