Grapevine Bag

Intermediate skill level for bag I get compliments on all the time! Pattern has full text option in case you don't want to use the chart. Lining is strongly suggested to keep the bag from stretching out of shape. One skein each of light and dark green needed for leaves and tendrils; contrast purple needed for grapes. This is one pattern in a series of Celtic botanical knits I've designed. Each pattern has a botanical theme with a Celtic flavor to it including, usually, the ancient Irish Ogam letter that represents the plant on the pattern. The ancient continental Celts nurtured grape vines and decorated Bronze Age drinking vessels with grape leaves and fruits. With this pattern, you can decorate a bag with grape leaves and fruits! Today, wild grapes grow up to 115 feet in open woodlands and their grapes produce a succulent juice that always makes me pour a second glass. Yum!
