PATTERN NOTES: This bag is knit first as a flat bottom rectangle in garter stitch and then picked up around to knit the sides to the drawstring double knit top casing. I highly recommend matching the weight of your yarn to the pattern yarn weight that is recommended. (For example: this pattern recommends worsted weight yarn = 250 yards (229 m) per 113 grams (3.98 oz). Using a skein with significantly fewer or more yards will result in a different product. SAMPLE: Knit using Stonehedge Fiber Mill Shepherd’s Wool Worsted in colors MC: Granite, CC: Yellow, Christmas Red, Violet, Turquoise, and Lime Green and weighing 150 grams using 332 total yards. (MC = 110g CC = 40 total grams, with extra grams used of the red for the casing lining) Note: If you can’t pick up the stitches around the bottom/base of the bag as they can be quite tight, I use a [Handi Tool][5] to put the tip through the stitch and then pull the yarn through using the crochet hook end.

Test knitters were Christine Cardinal, Jody Nitz, and Helen Woodcock.
