Knitted Petal Pouches

After the sewn Petal Pouch pattern that I published earlier this week, here is a pattern for a knitted version.

I think these are easier to make than the sewn ones and, as you can see, they come in three sizes too. They are knitted flat in four simple garter stitch pieces and then sewn together. Drawstrings are threaded through a line of eyelets to close the pouches.

They hold more than you'd think they would. This smallest one only uses 20g of yarn all together and would make a good jewellery pouch to take with you on your travels.

Or maybe you need to pack some emergency yarn ...

Whatever you decide to use yours for, I hope you enjoy knitting them. Click on the link below to download the free pattern.

More Sewing Patterns

 Two more free patterns for you today. Actually, I've just tidied this one up a bit.

Music Bag

I always hankered after one of those leather music bags with one handle and a metal bar as a child, not realising how expensive they were. So I settled for a carrier bag or just clutched my music in my sticky little hands. This sewn version is much cheaper, much prettier and would also work as a book bag.

The second pattern is my version of these little Petal Pouches. I made these to hold little Easter eggs but they would hold any number of little things. 

You can download either of these patterns, together with my tote bags by clicking on the link at the side, under 'My Free Sewing Patterns'. I think I might have managed to set the links so that they go to the actual pattern now but who knows? Blogger can be very, very confusing.

I've also worked out a knitted version of the Petal Pouch which is nearly ready to publish. This one comes in three different sizes.

I'll let you know when it's ready.

Tote Bag Patterns

I've sorted out the patterns for the three different sizes of reversible tote bags that I mentioned in my last post. You can download them by clicking on any of the links on the sidebar, under where it says 'My Free Sewing Patterns'. I hope you enjoy them.

More sewing patterns coming soon.
