Knitting kit for Gigi Knitting Bag in Önling No 4
Gigi Knitting Bag is a knitted pouch worked in patterned knitting with an all-over heart motif, inspired by classic Fair Isle knitting. The pattern is constructed so that the placement of the colors is essential to the overall expression, and the design changes character when the colors are swapped.
The knitting bag is worked using one strand Önling No 4, 100% fine organic merino wool. 25 g of each of the three colors are used, making it possible to knit two bags from one kit. By working with the colors in different ways, several expressions can be achieved, even though the pattern is the same.
Gigi Knitting Bag is worked in the round in pattern and lined with a fabric drawstring pouch (not included in the kit), which functions as lining and the closure. The bag can be used for storing knitting projects and can hold 5–6 balls of yarn, depending on the thickness of the yarn. Gigi Knitting Bag is a manageable project, well suited for colorwork knitting in a smaller format.
This kit contains: Yarn for the selected size and color and a digital pattern
Note! The drawstring pouch is not included in the kit!

ABOUT PATTERNS FROM ÖNLING
In 95% of all kits from Önling, you get a digital pattern and yarn when you buy a knitting kit. Read more about how to get hold of your digital knitting pattern here.
In some cases, however, you will not receive a pattern as part of your order:
If you buy a Yarn kit, you will only receive yarn for the design in question. Yarn kits are only sold for selected designs from external designers, where we do not have the right to sell the pattern. When a kit is sold without pattern, you can always see it in the header, which will say (excl pattern) in the header.
In very few cases, however, we provide a printed pattern rather than a digital one:
- For a select, few designs from PetiteKnit, we will add a printed pattern to the parcel - but for most PetiteKnit designs, you will not receive a pattern, as they are mainly sold as yarn kits (excl pattern). In these cases you will always be able to see it in the header, where it says (excl pattern).
Wool can last for years, but it requires good care. Washing is tough on your woolen garments and in general wool needs to be washed much less than other materials as it has a self-cleaning effect.
