What you need to know

If you've always wanted to learn how to work moss stitch, download and knit this boho accessory from Susie Johns.

This bag is big enough to hold all your essentials and has a hippy style that will appeal to festival fanatics, beach babes and anyone who enjoys a custom-knitted accessory. Made in cotton aran, it’s relatively quick to knit and you can choose whether or not to line it. For a shoulder bag, make the shorter strap and for a cross-body bag, make the longer one. You’ll be working in moss stitch for a lot of this project, producing a gorgeously textured finish.
