Description
We get so worried about being “pretty.” Let’s be pretty kind, pretty funny, pretty smart, pretty strong. Britt Nicole, American singer-songwriter
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 in knit first as a flat bottom square 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 DK weight yarn = 231 yards (211 m) per 100 grams (3.5 oz). Using a skein with significantly fewer or more yards will result in a different product.)
SIZES: One size
FINISHED MEASUREMENTS Circumference – 21” [53.25 cm] Base: 8” [20.5 cm] x 5” [12.5 cm]
YARN: DK Weight Yarn (231 yds (211 m)/100 grams)
SAMPLE: Knit using Woolens and Nosh Squish DK in colors MC: French Press, CC1 Magenta, C2 Sugar Maple and CC3 Mango and weighed 84 using 210 total yards. (MC = ?? g CC = ?? g)
NEEDLES: US size 5 (3.75 mm) 16-inch circular needle
US Size 3 [3.25 mm] 16-inch circular needle
OR SIZES NEEDED TO OBTAIN GAUGE
Optional: Two US Size 3 [3.25 mm] double pointed needles for I-Cord drawstring
Optional: US Size 3 [3.25 mm] 24-inch circular needle for knitting casing separately
NOTE: Recommended to use 2 circulars or magic loop as turning the square corners for the bottom makes the knitting quite tight to manipulate, especially in the first few rounds.
GAUGE: 22 sts and 28 rnds per 4”/10 cm (5.5 sts and 7 rnds per 1”/2.5 cm) in Stockinette Stitch stranded colorwork, blocked
Base is knit tighter on one size smaller needle for stability.
