Kilim is a fun bag/tablet cover resembling the traditional kilim bags from Turkey and Greece. The bag features a brioche diamond over a slipped stitch pattern.
The slipped stitch pattern simulates a stranded colorwork, but it is worked using just only one color at a time, making it easy to combine it with the brioche inserts.

The brioche diamonds strongly stand out from the background due to the loftiness intrinsic to brioche stitch, creating an interesting structure mixing texture and color.

Finished size: 23 cm height and 19 cm width (9 x 7.5”).
