Merfolk Bag
Both the large and small bags are worked the same way. Begin by working in the round to form the handle of the bag. This will result in a sturdy handle that is less likely to stretch. When you begin the body of the bag, you will begin working in rows. Increases and decreases are used to shape the bag. Once you have completed two sizes they will be stitched together using contrasting yarn. The large size is designed to be a shoulder bag for an adult; the smaller size is a cross-body bag for a child.
