Red Heart Soft color Grass
Size 15 circular needles
Two layers of interfacing
Fabric for lining and straps to attach handles
Matching thread
Handles
Patience (lots of patience)
Base:
Using two strands of the yarn held together, CO 3st.
Knit
KFB, K1, KFB
Repeat these two rows until you have 31sts
Knit 20 garter ridges (40 rows)
Next row SSK, knit to the last 2 sts, K2tog
Next Row Knit
Next row SSK, knit to the last 2 sts, K2tog
Repeat these two rows until 3sts remain
Bind off 3 sts. The strip forms the bottom of the bag.
Bag:
Starting at the center cast on edge pick up and knit all sts ending at the center bound off edge. Place marker. Starting at the center bond off edge (where you left off) Pick up and knit all sts ending at the center cast on edge (where you began) place a different color or type marker so that you are able to tell that this is the start of the round. Make sure you have picked up the same number of sts on both sides.
Knit four purl four for four rows. Alternate stitch pattern for the next four rows. Knit where you purled and purl where you knit. Continue to your desired length. I did eight pattern repeats.
Lining and Interfacing: put lining and interfacing together and cut out to your desired size. Sew tighter wrong side together then turn right side out.
Handles: Cut small strips for your lining fabric. Sew together wrong side out then turn right side out. A crochet hook was very helpful to me. Put straps on handles and sew to outside of the bag lining (interface part).
Sew lining to the bag with coordinating thread you may want to fold the edge down some to get a nice edge around the bag.
Viola bag!
