Granny Square in Orange Knot Bag

Japanese knot bags, also known as Mochi Bukuro, are small, open tote bags characterized by their asymmetrical handles and unique closure system. One handle is longer than the other, and it’s designed to be looped through the shorter handle to create a knot that secures the bag’s opening and provides an easy and comfortable wrist loop for carrying the bag. This knotting method eliminates the need for zippers, buttons, or drawstrings, and offers a simple and elegant way a carry small (or larger) projects. They are especially effective for crafting on the go.
