Pattern Description from Interweave Knits, Holiday 2008:
Simple-to-make hexagons, joined as they are knitted, are the building blocks of the Labyrinth Carpetbag. Mitered diamonds shape the sides. Sara Lucas uses just three colors in random-look stripes to create a rich, tapestry-like effect.

Needles: Size 10½ (6.5 mm): 16” circular (cir) and set of 4 or 5 double-pointed (dpn). Adjust needle size if necessary to obtain the correct gauge.
