Child Knitting Bag
This
child knitting bag is an ideal project for a knitter on the move. It is
easy to carry around, whilst not being a design that is too difficult
to master.
The
bag is nine inches wide and seven and a half inches high, whilst having
an attractive look that your child will appreciate.
What next?
You
will need a 16" size nine and a 16" size eight needle to complete this
design.
A
great tip when completing this design is to make the handle cord first
and then use up all the remaining Deco-Ribbon for the bag. Another tip
for designing the child knitting bag is that using an odd number of
stitches on circular needles will automatically form a seed stitch
pattern.
Firstly cast on eighty one stitches using
larger circular needles. Then Join into the round (be careful with
stitches) and work in K1, P1 pattern stitch for eight inches or
alternatively until desired length. If your bag is longer than eight
inches you will need a third ball of Deco-Ribbon. Now cast off loosely.
Seam
bottom of bag
Press center 6.5" of tube
together and sew together, then form a "T" at each end to form a
rectangular flat bottom. This is this stage complete.
Knit Crochet Handle Cord
Cast
on 116 stitches using size 8 circular knitting needle. Then cast off
using a size H crochet hook. Using a crochet hook to cast off will make
casting off easier and helps to keep tension loose. This will make an
approximately twenty eight inch long cord. Or, use any other method of
making a 28" cord which you prefer. When making the child knitting bag
you may see an I-Cord as an example of an alternative. Now lace the
cord through the top edge of the bag. Stitch cord together after
threading through the bag.
Good
luck on completing the child
knitting bag!
