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.
PATTERN NOTES: This bag is 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 fingering weight 50 grams = 215 yards. Therefore, a 100 gram skein would need to equal 430 yards. Using a skein with significantly fewer or more yards will result in a different product.)
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. This is a coordinating project bag for the Spring Fever Day Scarf and Shawl.
