Sunburst Knot Bag

This fun knot bag works up very quickly and can be made both multi-colored or plain with beautiful results. The concept is simple, making 2 sunburst motifs and adding handles of differing lengths to create the knot shape when worn. I have also included some notes for a different handle look by adding a round of textured stitches on the outer portion. I use this in the plain version, but I did have a tester use it on her colored version and it looked awesome (see photos). **Supplies Needed** -Worsted weight yarn in 4 colors, approx. 20-25 yds of each color -5.5 mm hook, or size needed to obtain gauge -Scissors, yarn needle, tape measure -Small amount of fabric with matching thread for lining bag (optional) **Terms Used & Abbreviations** Pattern is written in US terminology.

Gauge is not essential in this pattern. **Finished Measurements** Each motif should measure close to 7" after completing rounds 1-5. Finished bag should measure approx. 11 x 7.25 inches when empty and laying flat. Handles should measure approx. 6 inches and 3 inches in length. I have also included a full YouTube video tutorial that I have linked at specific times throughout the pattern to help with the most difficult portions of the pattern. **There are no refunds for the purchase of my digital patterns.
