We are pleased to announce the release of the Shijimibukuro, designed by Hiromi Otsuru, as a kit!
Just grab your wallet and smartphone and head out for a quick errand. This light and airy mini bag can be slipped onto your wrist for easy carrying.
You can also tuck it into your main bag to use as a second bag, or as a lightweight companion for exploring while traveling.
It's also perfect as a project bag for small knitting projects like socks or hats.
Please choose your favorite color, from vibrant accent colors to more muted tones.
＊If you are knitting with amirisu Hike, one skein will be exactly enough to complete the project, so do not make a separate gauge swatch. Instead, knit the body and measure your gauge from the fabric. If there is a significant difference from the specified gauge, you may run out of yarn, so please re-knit with a smaller needle size.
