Silver Evening Bag
Silver Evening Bag was designed by knitvana.com
The size of the bag is $7.5^{\prime\prime}\times4^{\prime\prime}\times2^{\prime\prime}$ We used Patons Brilliant silver yarn for the external part of the bag and white cotton yarn (Sugar N Cream or mill ends sold by pound in A.C. Moore) for the lining. We knitted the bag with bamboo needles #0 ( $2\mathsf{\ m m}$ ) and #2 (3 mm).
