six geese a-laying
Six geese a-laying – that’s going to be an awful lot of eggs! So here’s a handy bag to carry them – and the rest of your shopping – home. Knitted loosely, it rolls up really small so it can easily be tucked into your handbag, ready to use whenever you
need it.

Knitted all in one piece in the round, there’s absolutely no seams to sew afterwards! One size of needles is used for the handle section, then two really large sizes are alternated to form the main mesh section. And, because this lower mesh section is so loose, this bag can grow and grow to fit masses of shopping.
