Make a gift even more special with a pretty handmade bag to put it in. These sweet bags are quick to knit in DK yarn, so they'd be great for party favours, and at 12cm long they're just the right size to hold a piece of jewellery or a handful of wrapped sweets. Embellish them with beads and ribbons for a truly personal touch and give with love!
