Little Bag

Discover the charm of this adorable little knitted bag that's not only easy to create but also incredibly versatile for various uses. While I personally use mine to store my contact lens supplies, its practical design makes it perfect for holding a wide array of items, from cosmetics to small treasures. (Be sure to check the measurements provided above to see just how much it can hold!) You can use any light to worsted weight yarn, and I highly recommend opting for a yarn that boasts minimal stretch—cotton, linen, or hemp are all fantastic choices that will give your bag durability. For this pattern, you will need 4.5 mm (US 7) knitting needles suitable for both flat and circular knitting, and a crochet hook is optional; it’s primarily needed for picking up stitches and not for any crocheting. To successfully create this cute bag, you should know how to knit, purl, pick up and knit stitches, work in the round, perform a knit front and back (kfb) increase (feel free to substitute with any single increase), and execute a 4-stitch i-cord. Sounds straightforward, right? The process begins with crafting a sturdy bottom for your bag. Once you've completed that step, you will pick up stitches along the sides and continue knitting until the bag reaches your desired height. Finally, you'll bind off the top and create the i-cord for the handles, providing a stylish finish to your delightful creation. This personalized knitted bag makes an ideal project for knitters of all levels and is a delightful way to showcase your skills. Enjoy the process of knitting your own little bag and make it uniquely yours!
