If you're searching for a summer design that's both colorful and easy, this Summer Day Beach Bag is just what you need. Knitting bags doesn't have to be difficult and this pattern proves that. Composed mostly of knit stitches, this pattern will allow a new knitter to practice the yarn over stitch as well as k2tog (knit two together).
