Japanese Knot Bag Knit Pattern – Eco-Friendly Project with Recycled Silk Yarn

The Japanese Knot Bag Knit Pattern is a stylish, eco-conscious accessory project that combines subtle textures with timeless function. Worked seamlessly in the round with a repeating texture pattern, this bag features two looped straps (one short, one long) that knot together for a secure closure. Sized perfectly for daily essentials, it’s a mindful project that highlights the beauty of Sport Weight Recycled Silk Yarn.

Designed by Neith Juch (@neithj), this pattern offers knitters an engaging way to explore structured shaping while creating a practical, one-of-a-kind bag.
