Bag made of 3 squares

PLAN

  • Contrasting colors give bold geometric effects.

  • Decide on width and height of bag.

  • The row length is the square width and the number of rows the square height. 

  • I recommend 36 - 46cm, allow 1 stitch/cm (36cm = 36 stitches in a row). Even number for moss stitch. 

  • Choose your colours per square. Each square is 1.5 - 2 balls depending on size.

  • Plan any stripes - to help choose colours.

  • Each square will be folded to form the bag.

MAKE SQUARES

  • Cast on 1 stitch per cm

  • Knit first row of square to get stitches loose on needle

  • Continue alternating knit, & purl stitches Moss stitch

  • When square is as high as wide cast off

  • REPEAT for 3 squares. 

ASSEMBLE

  • Fold squares as per diagram

  • Place folded squares on table

  • Pin squares taking care to line up any stripes or colour variations into your design.

  • Stitch folded triangles together 

  • To add a knitted handle cast on stitches from upper corners. Or consider knitting a tube and sewing on.
