The Mod Dots Bag is a great large bag to carry and is an easy knit. The dots are done in duplicate stitch which results in a 3D look after felting. It has pleats on each end, and can be lined. In fact, I suggest encasing plastic canvas and a flexi frame closure in the lining for a great structured look.

You can knit garter or I-cord handles, or purchase the handles of your choice from your LYS.
