Downloadable pattern: Neliraita bag (designer Veera Jussila)

The four-stripe bag is made by tufting a striped pattern onto fabric and then sewing the fabrics into a bag.

The instructions for the four-stripe bag were published in Rakkaat kuviot & Vuokko magazine, where Vuokko's stunning timeless designs served as inspiration.

Pattern information:

Size:

Diameter approximately 20 cm.

Materials:

Yarn: Leftover yarns (fingering-weight yarns can be tufted double, and DK and thicker yarns single) in 4 different colors, about 30 g of each

Note! The yarn consumption is affected by the length of the needle used in the work, i.e., how long the pile is tufted. In the sample work, the yarns were tufted with a medium and long needle length.

Tufting needle: Lavor 4 mm (tufting needles 3–10 mm are also suitable)

Other materials:

• Round embroidery hoop 19 cm and old linen fabric OR Zweigart Monks
  Cloth fine crafting fabric 0.3 m
• Old jeans or other suitable recycled fabric for the bag (inner lining fabric can be thinner)
• 25 cm zipper
• 0.5 m cotton fabric for lining
• 0.5 m wadding
• Soft pencil or other marking pen, latex or white glue 0.2 l, scissors, 2 D-rings

Note! For a larger tufting needle, a looser woven Zweigart Monks Cloth tufting fabric is also suitable. If you tuft with a 5 mm or larger tufting needle, you can tuft with double yarn. However, note that this will result in greater yarn consumption.
