Salta Bag knitting pattern

Free Salta Bag Knitting Pattern

This knit salta bag is a perfect accessory as it is practical and stylish. The bag is a simple rectangle that is folded and seamed to create this classic design tote.

This is a perfect pattern for the beginner due to its simple style and the thickness of the yarn.  This will be a perfect kit accessory on the first try.

The texture of the chunky yarn provides a stunning contrast to the smoothness of the leather handle.

Adding a liner to your bag is optional as the fabric is dense enough to keep your valuables inside.

This pattern uses a felting technique that creates a dense fabric.  Don’t be afraid of this as it is well explained in the pattern.
