Description
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.
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 sport weight yarn = 184 yards (168 m) per 50 g (1.75 oz) or 368 yds (336 m) per 100 grams (3.5 oz). Using a skein with significantly fewer or more yards will result in a different product.

NOTE: Using scraps? Here’s some details: The base takes 35 grams of yarn or less; words take 8 grams of yarn for each section; background for word sections take 9 grams of yarn or less; each casing takes 12 grams of yarn or less.
