Christmas Treat Bag

$2.50 Au

This little bag will hold a bundle of Christmas Treats safely inside, with no chance of prying eyes peeking to see what goodies may be contained within.

The use of linked stitches creates a dense fabric. Surface slip stitch is used for the making of the tree branches.

This is a super fast make and looks great on completion! Time to make a dozen prior to Christmas!

This is graded as an easy/intermediate level project. An understanding of linked stitches and surface slip stitch is required.

I have not listed this as a free pattern but asking a small amount for it, simply as while this is super quick to make, the actual written pattern did take some writing. I try to make my patterns as clear as possible and this requires time and attention to detail. So before anyone states that it should be be free, do consider that my dog Stella does enjoy eating and the few cents for this pattern buys her doggie biscuits.

This pattern is free for the first 40 people to use code found on the front homepage of my webpage. After the 40 free patterns have been redeemed you can use the second code to get 15% off. Again this is for a limited time.
