At the top, 20 stitches are cast off across the front and 20 across the back, leaving 5 at each side for the strap; each strap half is knitted flat to 60 cm and the two are grafted together. The bottom is sewn closed, nine doubled strands are knotted along it for the fringe with a crochet hook, and the bag is fulled in the washing machine at 40°C to about 23 × 25 cm. The pattern then suggests a fabric lining and small mirrors or buttons sewn across the front.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDesign: Védís Jónsdóttir — pattern from Lopi No. 24 (no. 23), Ístex.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ístex","offers":[{"title":"Without needles","offer_id":67599134490677,"sku":"KIT-EN-LOFN","price":41.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"With needles","offer_id":67599146778677,"sku":"KIT-EN-LOFN-NDL","price":56.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1662\/1057\/files\/lopi24-lofn-1_8b9ddd8f-e506-42e5-b9d5-44c65e9926bf.jpg?v=1790948955","url":"https:\/\/icelandicstore.is\/products\/lofn-felted-shoulder-bag-knitting-kit","provider":"The Icelandic Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
