Knitted Ukuele Gig Bag

As some of you might know, I have two ukuleles. A tenor, and a concert. I have a soft sided gig bag that came with the tenor, but my concert has no such bag to protect her while travelling. I decided to knit and felt the Hana Hou! gig bag pattern and make my own.

Unfortunately it didn’t go exactly to plan, and the bag fits my tenor better than my concert, but its super thick and padded and will probably protect either of them better than my other bag does.

This was before I felted it- as you can see, its freaking huge! Almost double the size it needs to end up.

After 4 cycles in a hot water/heavy agitation wash, it wad down to this size and not getting any smaller.

Please ignore my dirty feet. Being barefoot is awesome!

This is it inside out. I made a simple fabric lining, hand stitched in place, and velcro will secure the flap tucked in to the bottom to keep and uke from falling out.

And finally, hanging out with my concert uke inside. Its a little big for it, but I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. I would definitely consider making this again, though I would have more fun with the colorwork.
