Construction:
Using Judy’s Magic Cast on, stitches are cast on to create a seamless bottom. Increases are made to create the body of the bag. The rest of the bag is knit in stockinette stitch until the desired length or 10.5 inches. The top of the bag is cast off using an i-cord bind off and the straps are made as an i-cord and seamed to the body of the bag.
