One book — thousands of ideas. One principle — an infinite number of bags.
Knitted bags today are more than just a fashion trend. They are a way to express style, character, and individuality. They easily fit into an urban or vacation wardrobe, becoming the accent of an outfit or its foundation, transitioning from casual to evening and back.
Shoppers and totes, cross-bodies and baguettes, backpacks, clutches, fanny packs, “tablets” and bags — a knitted bag can be anything. Rigid or soft. Minimalistic or decorative. Made from raffia, cord, knitted yarn, jute, cotton, or linen. But behind all this variety lies one thing — a clear structure.
This is not a collection of master classes and not a catalog of finished models. This is a constructor book created for those who want to not repeat, but create and model.
Ekaterina Baklago offers a systematic approach to bag knitting: through the geometry of shape, the logic of construction, and an understanding of the material.
Any bag, even the most complicated one, can be broken down into simple elements — circle, square, oval, rectangle. Mastering this foundation, you will be able to assemble your own models — of the desired size, shape, and density, from the yarn that you have on hand.
This is a book about the freedom of creativity and confidence in the result.
