This knit, Japanese knot bag pattern is sized for use as a small project bag or handbag. It is worked in the round, from the bottom up. The stitch pattern includes both charted and written instructions. The wrong side of the stitch pattern is almost as pretty as the right side, so if finished neatly, the bag could be reversible.
To secure and carry the bag simply pull the long strap through the short strap.

My patterns are designed, not just written down, because I want your project to be a success! Before knitting begins, I sketch ideas, test yarns, stitch swatches, create charts, do math and consider a variety of skills and construction methods. Each pattern uses standard knitting terminology and notations, is edited for technical accuracy and has a logical, easy-to-read format. I do the work so you can enjoy the knitting!
