Couldn't find any buttons so I made my own.


I also made a bag with the leftover wool

The cardigan is lovely and so is the bag. Is the bag your own pattern? :D

[Alice21]

The bag was from a free pattern. I made it a bit larger and used double yarn for the handles to make them a bit stronger.

Here is the link to the pattern

Just look for clustered tote bag.

Very nice, love the colour and matching bag. I'm just doing a boring old aran at the moment - can't get excited about that.
