In my last two blogposts, I have been talking about the BYOB - Bring Your own Bag pattern and showing how different it can look when worked in different colours. My original bag was worked in a Summer Limes colourway, with a fresh lime green main colour teamed with blue and purple contrast colour stripes.
Then in my last blogpost I showed the bags worked with more earthy tones – just perfect for the autumn. In this post I am looking even further ahead to feature some bags which would be perfect for the Spring-time.
These are also slightly easier as they have been worked in just two colours, with a pretty berry pink or gentle blue contrasting with bright white stripes.

So in the blue bag pictured above, I worked three narrow bands of white in the lower Seed Stitch section, with 3 rounds in white and 5 rounds of blue between. Then the rest of the pattern is the same up to the top band, where I again used the main blue colour to replace the second contrast colour in the original pattern.
This gives a simple yet stunning bag. The blue colour here is a dusky pale blue, but I could also imagine this bag with a stronger French blue for a more traditional summer blue-and-white striped mix.

The pink bags are worked in a similar way, replacing the second contrast colour in the pattern with the main colour of pink. The result is simple yet stylish and also involves less left-over yarn – always a bonus!

Next time, I'll be looking at working another variation of the pattern, but this time with broad stripes of colour instead.
Until then – Happy Knitting!
