Little Bag
This adorable and easy-to-make knitted bag is perfect for a variety of uses, from storing your contact lens essentials to holding your favorite small items. With its versatile size (see measurements above), this charming bag easily adapts to your needs. You can use any light to worsted weight yarn for this project, but I recommend choosing yarns with minimal stretch, such as cotton, linen, or hemp, for the best results. To create this bag, you will need 4.5 mm (US 7) knitting needles for both flat and round work. Though optional, a crochet hook can be handy for picking up stitches, though no actual crocheting is involved in this pattern. To successfully complete this pattern, you should be familiar with basic knitting techniques, including knitting, purling, picking up and knitting stitches, working in the round, kfb (you can substitute any single increase), and creating a 4-stitch i-cord. Sounds simple, right? The pattern begins with crafting the bottom of the bag. After that, you will pick up stitches to create the sides and continue knitting until the bag reaches your desired height. Finally, you will bind off your work and create the handles using the i-cord method. Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting out, this knitted bag project is a great way to hone your skills while creating something practical and cute. So gather your materials, get comfortable, and enjoy the satisfying process of knitting your very own little bag. Happy knitting!
