Your Basic Bag
Easy bag introduces knitting in all directions. Final measurements are approximate becaue different ribbons will hang, and stretch with wear, differently.
Experience:
- easy
- simple finishing
Measurements:
- Width 14”
- Bag height - 13”
- Bag height including handles - 17”
Yarn:
- medium weight
- soft ribbon
- 525 yds
Other Materials Required:
- one 2” decorative button or toggle
- approx. 1/2 yd (40-60” wide) lining fabric
- 2 yds of strong yarn (for seaming, if ribbon tears too easily)
Note: Sally says gauge isn’t important here, but you may want to do a gauge swatch to determine needle size. What you want is a firm fabric.
