This was a quick and easy project. The bag ended up medium sized after using a 5mm needle rather than the 4.5mm recommended in the pattern.

If I was knitting this again I’d cast on with a 5mm, and also use it for the edging and handles, and then use a 6.5 mm needle for the rest to end up with a larger bag.

Modification:

I picked up and knit both side stitches and cast on both of the handle stitches all together and knit them in the round as other members have done, which made a nice clean finish.
