Customer Reviews

modern bags for everyday life

I intentionally got this book for a reference to different bag designs I was trying out at the time. I love the patterns of the many different bags that are featured in the book. And, I like that it has a section where you yourself can design your bag any way you want to.

super cute and trendy

This book is full of super cute and trendy bag/purse projects. Out of all the knitting books dedicated to handbags, this by far is the best one I've found yet. I can sincerely say I like just about every single pattern. I made one of the bags for my best friend and she said she gets compliments all the time. One note: I'm in my twenties and think these are adorable. Granted if you are older or just simply have more traditional taste, you may not like some of these patterns but I find them all to be just the right mix of trendy, sophisticated and classic.

Must have accessories

Great bags. I'm making the cover bag now and it's knitting up quite well. So far I haven't run into any issues with the pattern.

Great Projects

I know I'm addicted to knitting handbags, especially felted ones, but I have to say that this book has some of the loveliest bag patterns I've seen yet. I can't wait to get started!

another great style addition

I love this book. Out of the 20 patterns there are only 2 that I would never knit. I was a huge fan of scarf style having made 90% of the patterns in that book but wasn't really happy with wrap style so when I saw this book I was hesitant. But it turned out to be a great collection of patterns. I have already cast on for my first bag and I just got the book 2 days ago. If you like making bags you should check out this book.
