The Coble Shoulder Bag is an everyday bag that can be styled up or down to suit any occasion. Whilst the bag is knitted in a stretchy rib stitch, the crochet seams allow a level of stabilisation which prevents the bag from stretching out too much when filled with all of your things. The bag can be made with either Aran weight yarn or 2 ends of DK being held at the same time - so the possibilities of what yarns you could use is endless!
SKILL LEVEL
Beginner/Intermediate
TECHNIQUES
Cast on, knit & purl to form a 2x2 rib, SSK, SSP, cast off, single crochet.
YARN RECOMMENDATIONS
You can knit the bag using either one strand of Aran weight, or by holding two strands of DK weight.
If you are knitting with one strand of aran yarn; you will need approx 150 grams of yarn for the main body plus 20 grams for the crochet border. Adjust yarn accordingly if you are making a longer version.
If you are knitting with two strands of DK yarn held together; you will need approx 190 grams of yarn for the main body plus 25 grams for the crochet border. Adjust yarn accordingly if you are making a longer version.
RECOMMENDED NEEDLES/HOOK
4mm/US 6 knitting needles
4mm/US 6 crochet hook
GAUGE
In 2x2 rib
10cm/4” x 10cm/4” = 18 stitches x 24 rows (unstretched)
Meeting an accurate gauge is not super important for this project. The most important factor is to achieve a knitted fabric that is nice and dense as this will help to minimise any additional stretch to your bag. The construction of the bag is achieved by matching up rows/markers rather than measurements, so if you find you are out slightly with your gauge - you will still be able to reach all the marker points and knit your bag normally.
