Lollipop Crossbody
By
Toqu Tigu
Colorful concentric welts bring to mind a favorite summertime treat in the Lollipop Crossbody Bag. This project is ideally sized for a relaxing knitting experience and results in a bag just large enough to carry your essentials while leaving your hands free for all your favorite summer activities!
The pattern is written for one size, resulting in a bag approximately 7”/18 cm wide and 1”/2.5 deep, but you can customize it to whatever size you like. I have included directions and diagrams for the felt lining that adds structure and sturdiness to your bag. The updated version now includes both a no-zipper version and a zippered version along with its video demo and a color planner to help you plan out your yarn colors.
Yarn: fingering, sport, or DK weight yarn
Note: The welts are easier to work with wool or other elastic yarns.
The sample’s MC is fingering weight cotton and CC is a sport weight wool blend yarn.
Yardage:
Fingering: 185 yards / 170 meters of MC and CC
Sport: 170 yards / 155 meters of MC and CC
DK: 155 yards / 140 meters of MC and CC
Gauge:
Fingering: 28 sts and 56 rounds = 4”/10 cm in garter stitch with MC
Sport: 26 sts and 52 rounds = 4”/10 cm in garter stitch with MC
DK: 24 sts and 48 rounds = 4”/10 cm in garter stitch with MC
Needles:
32”/80 cm circular needle and a set of DPNs in size necessary to obtain gauge
Notions:
removable stitch markers (8), tapestry needle, felt (18”/46cm x 12”/30.5cm), sewing needle, and thread
Financial Accessibility: The pattern’s full price is $9.50, and in an effort to make it affordable to more people, I have set up the pay-what-you-can pricing starting from $6.65. If you can afford it, I appreciate you buying this pattern at full price and valuing my creativity and labor! Thank you for your interest and support!
Low Vision Accessibility: This pattern includes a low-vision format that is written in 22-point sans serif font (Arial) in all-black text. It has no italics. All of the directions are fully written out. There is no chart in this pattern.
