The Santa Barbara Knitting Studio Short Row Shaped Bags with I-Cord Edging
These bags are all worked in one piece, from bottom of the strap, around the bag and up the strap to the other end. The only sewing is to join the end of strap to the cast on edge. All the turning of the corners is done by short-row shaping. The I-cord is knitted on as you knit the bag - nothing to sew on or pick up later except the button loop. Instructions are written row-by-row and include placing and moving markers so you'll never get lost! Pattern is written for Sport, Worsted or Bulky weight yarn. Gauge is Not Important, although recommendations are given for 3 weights of yarn, along with suggested needle sizes which are 2 to 3 times smaller than normal for a tight stitch. Sizes can be anything you want - from a tiny pocket-size purse to a large market bag size. Approximate yarn amounts are given for three different sized bags in the three different weights of yarn: 11", 14" and 16" across.
