Knitting, Bag
Knit Simple Spring/Summer 2011 #24 and #25
Design by Cheri Esper
Underneath those dreadlocks is the simple felted bag (pattern #24). The fringe is merely crocheted chains worked in a combo of the main yarn and stash yarn that’s attached to the purl guides on the main stockinette fabric. Like the fringed version, sports a stockinette body punctuated by holes for the strap, created by a double yarn over with a decrease.
