"These felted Messenger Bags and Passport pockets are based on the idea of hidden color. Each bag has a plain flap that hides a brightly colored design or stripe. And inside each bag is a vibrant passport pocket that can serve as a pocket for the larger bag or may be worn on its own."
Both are knit in one piece, double stranded for strength. Straps are knitted separately then attached.
skill level: beginner to intermediate
Dimensions: Bag 18"W x 12"H x 2"D
Passport Pocket 9" x 5"
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.
