Make it in Traditional Color or have fun with the colors
This Bag measures about 5 X 7 inches, not counting the handle. It's the perfect size for a reusable lunch bag.

I bed if you brought your lunch to work in this bag, not one would steal it!

These 2 yarns are my favorite for making Anything
 Sock Monkey. The Vanna's Choice is my first choice, 
but the I Love This yarn is a good choice as well.
