Leftover Bag Pattern

Leftovers Gift Bag
Designed By: tclarkeee@gmail.com

This was designed as a quick improvisation using some leftover yarn in my stash. I knew I didn’t have enough to do a large project, but I really didn’t like not having a destiny for this quarter ball of yarn.
I used Fiesta Yarns Kokopelli on size 8 needles, but it’s really a gaugeless project. The length of the finished piece will depend on how much yarn you have. If you went super long, you might even be able to fit a bottle of wine in the bag. For color variation you could easily use several yarns of similar weight to create a striped or patterned bag.

Materials:
• Size 8 circular needles (or needles appropriate for your yarn)
• Leftover yarn from your stash
• Darning needle

Directions:
CO 40 sts
Row 1: K2, P2 to end, join, place marker
Knit Row 1 for about 1 ½ inches.
Eyelets: K2, YO, P2tog to end
Knit the body in stockinette stitch until desired length (I went for about five or six inches)
BO, sew bottom together
Finish by stringing braided, bunched, or even an i-cord through the eyelets.
