Knitting Project Bags and Totes

Please note the Mini Boxy Totes are expected to ship the week of December 22. Thank you so much for your patience due to a brief internal delay.

Introducing the Mini Boxy Tote, a limited-edition collaboration between Westknits and Thread & Maple — and a true celebration of Stephen West’s artistry. Each tote features a striking, deeply detailed embossing of the Aurora Cabin Shawl motif on the front pocket. The texture, depth, and linework of the shawl design transform the leather into a piece of wearable art, making every tote feel uniquely expressive and unmistakably Westknits.

Inside, a stamped message offers Stephen’s signature philosophy:
“If you’re going to make something by hand, make it grand.”

Compact, structured, and crafted from premium Crazy Horse leather, the Mini Boxy Tote stands upright on its own — open or snapped closed — making it a beautiful and practical companion for knitting on the go. Wide, comfortable straps sit naturally on the shoulder, and the clean, boxy shape keeps everything accessible.

Thoughtful storage includes two exterior pockets and three interior pockets, offering convenient space for notions and small tools.

The interior is unlined, showcasing the velvety underside of the leather. Each tote includes a small wool felt square to buff away scuffs as the leather softens and develops its signature patina.

Handcrafted in Ukraine and available in Teal and Whiskey, the Mini Boxy Tote blends function with the kind of fiber-art flair that makes a maker’s heart skip a beat.

Designed as both a beautiful everyday bag and a thoughtful project companion, the Flow Bag keeps your yarn moving smoothly and your knitting undisturbed.

Handcrafted in Ukraine from soft suede leather with Crazy Horse leather accents, it blends refined structure with practical details made specifically for makers. Sized to comfortably hold a 1–2 skein project, it’s ideal for socks and other small, portable knits.

At the zipper opening, a discreet snap tab allows yarn to glide freely while the bag remains closed — functioning like a quiet, travel-friendly yarn bowl. Inside, a snap loop holds your Needle Cozy so your sock project hangs neatly and untangled, keeping stitches clean and cables free from twists.

Fully lined and intentionally designed, the Flow Bag features:

• A yarn-through snap tab at the zipper mouth
• An interior snap loop to suspend your Needle Cozy
• A generous magnetic slip pocket
• A secure zippered pocket for small essentials
• An adjustable strap that converts from short handle to snug shoulder length
• Optional longer strap available separately for crossbody wear

Structured enough to hold its shape yet soft and tactile in hand, it transitions seamlessly from daily use to dedicated project bag. As with all suede pieces, we recommend protecting the bag with suede protector spray to minimize potential color transfer to clothing or yarn and to maintain the depth of color over time.

The Flow Bag is designed to move with you — keeping your yarn flowing, your stitches steady, and your project beautifully contained.
