Description

Arugula is a fun, fresh take on a knitted market bag with a lace outer layer allowing the color of the solid inner layer to peek through. Arugula begins with knit flat base pieces that are joined to work in the round before transitioning to a simple yet effective lace pattern for the main body of the bag. A stockinette top and turning ridge turn into the solid stockinette inner layer which is knit in the round before completing the bottom sections flat. Seams join the bottoms of both layers and have you ready to customize your finished bag with any handles you like. Remix Chunky is a wool-free blend of recycled fibers that is machine-washable for easy care, making it a great choice for everyday items like Arugula. Find your favorite shades and knit a go-to bag for anywhere you need to go—plastic bag replacements have never looked so good! Lace pattern is both charted and written out.
