Sock candy bag

Discover the art of knitting with our elegant drawstring bag pattern, inspired by a beautiful sample from Gayle Roehm’s class on stitches derived from traditional Japanese designs. This unique knitting project combines practicality with an intricate aesthetic, making it perfect for both beginners and experienced knitters.

The foundation of this delightful drawstring bag is crafted using a durable linen stitch, which creates a firm base to support the bag's shape. From there, you will pick up stitches and work in the round, employing an exquisite Japanese lace pattern that allows the body of the bag to expand gracefully. The final touch is accomplished with a stockinette stitch at the top to ensure stability, beautifully finished off with a charming picot edge that adds a touch of elegance.

In addition to the detailed instructions for the bag itself, we also provide step-by-step guidelines for creating custom drawstring ties, allowing you to personalize your bag further. Whether you're looking to enhance your knitting skills or create a stunning accessory, this pattern offers everything you need for a rewarding crafting experience.
