Knitting Pattern: Helmi Project Bag (by Anna Tanskanen)

The project bag is worked seamlessly starting from the bottom, working the edges and then the drawstring casing in the end. The drawstrings are worked last and threaded into the drawstring casings.

The pattern for the Helmi project bag was previously published in Beloved Patterns & Birger Kaipiainen knitting magazine, where the inspiration came from Birger Kaipiainen’s iconic ceramic designs.
