Knitting Pattern: Neliraita Bag (by Veera Jussila)
The bag, featuring four stripes, is made by tufting the stipe pattern onto the fabric and then sewing the fabric pieces together.
The pattern for the Neliraita bag was previously published in Beloved Patterns & Vuokko knitting magazine, where the inspiration came from Vuokko’s stunning, timeless prints.
