Novus Knit Pouch

No seaming. No stitch pick-ups. No nonsense. Novus Knit Pouch, July’s Lola’s Choice design, comes together like a knitting mystery you’ll be dying to solve.

Novus Knit Pouch is July 2025's Lola’s Choice kit and includes everything you need to make it! 
Kits are SOLD OUT... so SIGN UP NOW if you don't want to miss out on future kits in my small knitted kit club!

If you want to go stash diving the pattern is on sale for 25% off for the month of July... I feel badly that kits sold out so quickly!

Here’s a wee bag that is modular, seamless, and utilizes my Novus construction in a new way!  Novus Knit Pouch begins with a shaped strip that becomes the bottom, sides, and handles of your bag. Since avoiding picking up stitches is my jam, Lola’s Pick Up Line is worked with stitch saver along the edges as you knit.  Then, using my signature Novus technique, the front and back are worked by folding the strip into a 3-D pouch! The pattern includes a detailed video tutorial to help you wrap your stitches around Lola’s latest magical move.
