Sized Just Right

Somedays you don't want to take it *all* with you - or you just want to carry something smaller and cuter! I made the Ring Rose Bag just the right size for those things you can't leave the house without. Perfect for a special event - like coffee with friends!

Made with Patons Kroy Socks

This was my first time crocheting with Patons Kroy Socks, and I really enjoyed it! It is quite thin - a Super Fine, in fact. But look at the gorgeous wooly look! With two strands held together throughout this pattern, you get even more color play and interest - particularly in the Marled shades!

All About Details

While the Ring Rose Bag is easy to make, it does have a few clever details. There are two layers of plastic canvas sewn into the bottom. This gives the bag a nice stiff bottom - that's still washable if something messy happens!

So you can set this bag on the table and it doesn't fall over - open it up and rummage about as needed. Then when you're ready to go, pull the back of the drawstring through the ring on the front, and you've got your handle - and your bag will stay securely closed!
