Gauge: 29 sts & 54 rows = 10 cm / 4” over Garter stitch on 3 mm needles before blocking.

Note: For this pattern, row gauge is important since it will dictate the final length of the piece, which must be three times as long as it is wide. If you are unable to match the row gauge, in the central section there are instructions to correct the length if needed.

Needles: 3 mm / US 2.5 needle
Always use a needle size that will result in the correct gauge before blocking.

Notions: Tapestry needle

Notes: The bag is knit flat in one piece in garter stitch to form a rectangle that is then folded and sewn on two sides to create the bag shape. If preferred, carry the yarns up the edge of the piece when working the Thin and Thick Stripe Pattern sections.
