When I was growing up in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, there was a small children’s amusement park just down the road from my house and it was called Lollipop Park (see photo). The miniature steam locomotive and 1,200 feet of track wound their way through the park, neatly manicured and accented with zinnias and petunias. The boat ride, bumper cars and helicopters thrilled all the neighborhood children. It closed in 1973, but I still have such fond memories of the excitement of those memories.

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 DK weight yarn = 231 yards (211 m) per 100 grams 3.53 oz).) Using a skein with significantly fewer or more yards will result in a different product.

I used white for the inside of the casing but you can use any color and mix and match the two sides with different colors.

I purchased matching shoelaces from Amazon for the drawstrings but their are also instructions for knitting an icord.
