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, larger than some of the others, 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 = 184 yards 168 m per 50 grams (1.75 oz) OR 368 yds 336.5 m in 100 grams (3.5 oz)) Using a skein with significantly fewer or more yards will result in a different product.

SAMPLE: Knit in Brown Sheep Nature Spun Sport weight (100% superwash merino) using colorways MC 750S Toffee Bar; CC1 225 Brick Road; CC2 302S Harvest Wheat weighing a total 93 g and using 342 yards. (72 g/264 yards MC; 21g/77 yards CC)
