Cast on 81 sts using circular needles.
Join into round (being careful not to
twist the circle of stitches) and work in
k1, p1 pattern stitch for 8 inches or until
desired length (a bag longer than 8" will
use a 3rd ball of Deco-Ribbon).
Note: working an odd number of
stitches in a tube on circular needles will
automatically form a seed stitch
pattern. Cast off loosely.
Seam Bottom of Bag: Press center 6.5"
of tube together and sew together , then
form a "T" at each end to form a
rectangular flat bottom (see photo
below) and diagram.
Above shows the bottom of the bag.
Knit/Crochet Handle Cord: Cast
on 116 sts using size 8 circular
knitting needle, cast off using a size
H crochet hook. Using a crochet
hook to cast off will make casting off
easier and helps to keep tension
loose. This will make an
approximately 28" long cord. Or, use any other method of making a 28" cord
which you prefer.
Lace the cord through the top edge of the bag as shown in photo and diagram
below. Stitch ends of cord together after threading through the bag.
