the butter bag was born from the wisdom of my painting professor at university when he said: “if you really want to understand your subject, you need to paint it 50 times.”
Challenge accepted!
This project is for you if:
you are a beginner knitter wanting to boost your confidence
you are a seasoned knitter with a bunch of random stash yarn and want to use it all up
you want a fast project
you need to make some gifts! ( fill one of these up with some chocolate and you have a beautiful present)
you want to get bang for you buck from a pattern you will make again and again.
Materials:
8mm circular needles with short cable
Yarn: You can use whatever fiber our quantity of strands to make gage. I used 3 strands of 8/6 cotton yarn. Use whatever you like! This is a great stash busting project.
4.5mm crochet hook
When I created this pattern I couldn’t stop making one after the other, after the other.
I’m curious to see how different colors and fiber types react to the same structure so share you project on socials and tag @la.manteca.studio !
I’m so excited to share it with you!
