The Flamenco Bag is a medium-sized bag that was inspired by the luxurious skirts worn by the flamenco dancer. This bag gives the impression of romance and movement even when sitting on a table. It is a roomy bag that can go anywhere, from the park to a fancy evening out.
These bags are surprisingly easy to make and complete: the felting and finishing is very quick and easy though the finished bag looks sleek and high-end. Simply hand sew the felt "flaps" over the snap handle structure, snap closed, and walk out the door. Add Beauty Bag Feet for a wonderfully luxurious finished look. Finished bags measure approximately 16-19" (40-48cm) wide at bottom and 8-9" (20-22.5cm) deep when sitting up (rectangular bottom itself approximately 7" (17.5cm) wide and 4" (10cm) deep), 8.5" (21.25cm) tall from bottom to frame. Flaps measure 10" (25cm) wide. Skill level is Intrepid Beginner to Intermediate.
Knit and felt this bag with 6 skeins of Cascade 220 (100% Peruvian Highland Wool; 220yds/100g) in your favorite color. As featured on the pattern, the bag is created with Cascade 220 in 4008 Ruby Heather and 2447 Peacock. (Tight knitters might use 5 skeins.)
You will need US 11 (8mm) 24" (60cm) and 32" (80cm) Circular Needles, Split Ring or Locking Stitch Markers, a Tapestry Needle, a sewing needle and polyester sewing or nylon beading thread, an LV83 Purse Frame, a Purse Chain with Lobster Claw Clip, and 4 Beauty Bag Feet.
