Knitting pattern for Gradma Felted bag

The Grandma Felted Bag is a cozy and charming market bag that feels like summer at grandma’s house. It brings back memories of those carefree childhood days — running barefoot through the garden while grandma waited by the window with a warm pie and a loving smile. Holding this bag feels like holding a small piece of that warmth, calmness, and love that doesn’t need any words. The bag is knitted from the top down in a diamond stitch pattern and gently felted to achieve its soft yet sturdy texture.
