Meet our new family member in the aegyo family: Goreum bag. The bag is named ‘Goreum’, which is the Koranic word for the beautiful knot that is tied on the South Korean national dress Hanbok. The knot on the Goreum bag is, however, somewhat more simplistic, so that anyone can tie the knot. Goreum is a small and quick project that can be knitted in several different sizes as needed. It is knitted in moss stitch and felted at the end: this is so that the bag can carry all your essentials without giving in to the weight.
