A knitting project bag is a bag of joy and hope. - anonymous

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 worsted weight yarn = 250 yards (229 m) per 113 grams (3.98 oz). Using a skein with significantly fewer or more yards will result in a different product.

SAMPLE: Knit using Stonehedge Fiber Mill Shepherd’s Wool Worsted in colors MC: Granite, CC: Yellow, Christmas Red, Violet, Turquoise, and Lime Green and weighing 150 grams using 332 total yards. (MC = 110g CC = 40 total grams, with extra grams used of the red for the casing lining)

Note: If you can’t pick up the stitches around the bottom/base of the bag as they can be quite tight, I use a Handi Tool to put the tip through the stitch and then pull the yarn through using the crochet hook end.
