The Terrazzo Bag is worked from the bottom up. The bottom is flat and it is worked as a growing circle in the round on double-pointed needles, while the sides of the bag are worked in the round on a circular needle. At the top, the bag is divided in two so that the straps, which are wide at the base and narrow upward, are worked separately. Each strap ends in a loop which is worked in double knitting, through which the leather strap is inserted. Twill tape is threaded through the hollow center of the double knitting to provide stability, and the lining is sewn into the finished bag. Finally, the full-grain leather strap is installed in the loops created by the reinforced straps.
