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.

NOTIONS: stitch markers, darning needle
Optional: Knit Picks I-cord maker OR Cord Quill I-cord Tool
Optional Beads: 81 Size 6.0 mm beads
Optional Shoelaces: Amazon Shoelaces

SAMPLE was knit in Brown Sheep Wildfoote Handpaint
Luxury Sock yarn in colorway Sonatina and weighed 70
grams including the beads and shoelaces, using approximately 210 yards grams of fingering weight yarn.

Tech edit and graphic design by Corrina Ferguson.
