Stripes will always add that certain something. – Anthony T. Hincks, author
Knitters know that you can never have too many bags. And using this Targhee Twist from Leading Men Fiber Arts with its barber pole effect was really fun. But you can use any DK weight leftovers you have to stripe your favorite colors! This bag is slightly larger (and knit at a looser gauge) than previous Dumplin’ Bags so it will hold a bit more and you can always feel free to add an additional stripe to make it taller.
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 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 100 grams = 250 yards. Using a skein with significantly fewer or more yards will result in a different product.)
