Publisher's note

Thirty projects from 23 countries offer a worldwide representation of bags, from Asia and Africa to Europe and the Americas. From the fish-shaped Japanese felted bag to the Persian carpetûinspired handbag, each bag is a product of its cultural history. Each pattern begins with a brief history describing the source behind these contemporary interpretations of folk designs. Folk stories also accompany many projects. Included are designs for bags for work or play, and bags of all shapes, colors, textures, and sizes. Using this collection, knitters can create bags for children, for market, for everyday, or for a special evening event.

Annotation

This is sixth entry of the FOLK knitting series from Interweave Press. Sources as varied as a Yoruba mask from Nigeria, Moroccan mosaic tiles, the interior of an Tajikistan teahouse, and the clothing of the ancient Incas of Peru furnish the inspiration for these 30 patterns for handbags, totes, and purses. Vicki Square provides a short cultural history of each world region as well as insight into the creative process involved in the bag's design. Full-color charts and photographs, and two-color illustrations supplement the pattern instructions. An illustrated glossary of basic knitting techniques and a list of resources for the yarn used to make the bags are also included.
