Musical Stripes
Interweave SKU: EP1821
Pattern Description:
Stripe connoisseur Sandy Cushman combined five dusky hues of soft chenille to create these casual bags, sized just right for carrying a few essentials or an entire knitting project. The knitting begins with a garter stitch square at the base; then stitches are picked up around the sides and base of the square and the bag is worked in the round to the top, where it is finished with I-cord.
Finished Size: Small (large) bag: About 20 (36)“ (51 (91.5) cm) around and 11 (12½)” (28 (31.5) cm) tall.
Yarn: Crystal Palace Cotton Chenille (100% mercerized cotton; 98 yd [89 m]/50 g): #4065 teal and #9253 violet, 2 (2) skeins each; #8465 gray and #9024 mauve, 2 (1) skein(s) each; #3387 dark blue, 1 (2) skein(s); #6320 chartreuse, 1 (1) skein.
