The bag that stops people in their tracks.
This show-stopping cable bag is the project advanced knitters have been waiting for. Bold twisted cables cover every inch of the body and flap. A brass-style push clasp gives it a polished, ready-to-wear finish. You'll carry this everywhere — and answer a lot of questions about where you got it.
Why Makers Love This
✔ Rich cable texture covers the entire body and flap — no plain sections
✔ Finished size fits everyday essentials: 7.5" wide × 7" deep with a 32.5" strap
✔ Four distinct cable stitches give the fabric incredible visual depth
✔ The decorative flap uses shaped decreases that taper to a beautiful pointed tip
✔ A metal push clasp is included — no sourcing hardware separately
What Makes This Better
✔ Every stitch is explained — C4f, C4b, C6b, C6f are all shown with step-by-step photos
✔ Three-panel construction keeps the cable repeat manageable section by section
✔ Decrease techniques (ssp, sssp, p2tog, p3tog) are fully illustrated in the guide
✔ Strap uses the same cable pattern — no switching your rhythm
✔ Mattress stitch assembly instructions included so finishing looks clean
Picture Yourself…
Pulling this bag over your shoulder at a weekend market or a dinner out. The cables catch the light. Someone asks if it's handmade. You smile and say yes. This is the kind of project that stays in your rotation for years — because it looks just as good as the day you finished it.

Bonus Tip Use a cable needle slightly smaller than your working needles. Stitches slide on and off more easily — especially helpful during the flap decreases where the cable and shaping happen in the same row.
