Pattern Lairë Tote Bag

This pattern is really close to my heart as I designed it while I was at the hospital for a week with my son who’s been really ill.
I was sitting next to him all the time and I wanted to keep my mind and hands busy so I asked my husband to grab some yarn and bring it in…this is how this bag was born!

Thank you so much for your time to read through this information! I can’t wait to start and see all your beautiful creations!

With Love,

Krisztina
