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 1.75 oz [50 grams]). Using a skein with significantly fewer or more yards will result in a different product.
SIZES: One size
FINISHED MEASUREMENTS: Circumference: 30″ [76 cm]Base: 10″ [25.5 cm] x 5″ [12.5 cm]
YARN: Sport weight, 184 yds/168 m, 1.75 oz/50g
SAMPLE: Knit in Brown Sheep Nature Spun Sport weight (1 skein of MC and 10 grams each of 4 CC) using colorways NS60 Purple Splendor (MC), NS46 Red Fox (CC1), NS308 Sunburst Gold (CC2), NS109 Spring Green (CC3), and NS750 Toffee Bar (CC4). Sample weighed 81 grams using a total of 295 yards.

US 5 [3.75 mm] 16-inch (40 cm) circular needle for body of bag
OR SIZES NEEDED TO OBTAIN GAUGE NOTE: Some knitters may find better tension by moving up a needle size for the colorwork sections.
Optional: Two US Size 4 [3.5 mm] double pointed needles for I-Cord drawstring
Optional: Two US Size 4 [3.5 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: 24 sts and 28 rnds per 4” [10 cm] (6 sts and 7 rnds per 1” [2.5 cm]) in chevron colorwork
NOTE: Base of the bag is knit tighter on one size smaller needle for stability.
