When you support a small farm business, you are supporting a dream. When you spin your own yarn, you make a dream. – anonymous
Knitters know that you can never have too many bags! Carrying your projects in a bag that coordinates with a previous Irocknits Designs project, with the colors of your current cast on or with your favorite colors can be a fun way to carry your knitting with a little extra flair. This bag is written after the Farm Yarn Shawl which can be found here: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/farm-yarn-shawl which uses the same stitch patterns and recommended handspun yarn, to honor local farms in my area.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a checklist pattern. Each round is written out for easier tracking and checkboxes are placed for marking off upon completion. However, this makes the pattern significantly longer. Check to see the pages you want to print before starting.
PATTERN NOTES: This bag is knit first as a flat bottom rectangle in garter stitch and then picked up around to knit the sides to the drawstring double knit top casing. I highly recommend matching the weight of your yarn to the pattern yarn weight that is recommended. (For example: this pattern recommends fingering weight 400 yds/100 g. Using a skein with significantly fewer or more yards will result in a different product.
