Designer, Nora J. Bellows: "This little structured bag harkens back to another time and looks forward all at once. Imagine walking by the river on a balmy Spring day. Sitting down for coffee, a good book, and a tasty sweet at an outdoor cafe, your bag on the white marble table.

Decorated with Shirley Poppies or perfectly sleek and plain, the Retro will make you want to swing your arms when you carry it. The perfect bag for this Spring and Summer. "

Size: 9" base x 6" deep

All Noni patterns call for Cascade 220, a skein of 100% wool, 220 yards. We like Galway (210 yards each) for these projects, especially because they are center-pull balls! Your stitches will disappear beautifully once felted.

You will need:


For the NATURAL bag
3 skeins Cascade 220 in Natural (or 4 balls Galway)

needles: US 11 circular 24" long
-two 6" wide bamboo handles with clips
-Natural and Red worsted wool for flowers


For the LIGHT BLUE bag
3 skeins Cascade 220 in Light Blue (or 4 balls Galway)

needles: US 11 circular 24" long
-two 6.25" wide lucite handles

Flower pattern included! You will need extra yarn and US 7 needles to make the flowers.
