The transformation from being a simple piece of knitted material happens with the addition of loops and I-Cord. You might knit one from the finest of yarns or of colorful stash. Knitter’s choice
“The Grabbit” is a 36” flat square that becomes a bag. It’s designed to unfold from bag into a fabric square that can serve many purposes. If you are a knitter, your Grabbit can become a flat palette for yarn balls on a many-hued knitting project. But if it is a “baby bag,” it can be transformed into an emergency changing blanket. Or if a picnic bag carrying utensils and napkins, an elegant luncheon cloth.
