I love a good project bag, and I wanted a really big project bag for my checkmate sweater. So I dug my sewing machine out of the closet and got to work. Check out my Whiskey Knits large drawstring project bag. Plenty of pockets inside for stuff, and one pocket outside. What do you guys think?
Enjoy!
I finally finished writing the pattern to my satisfaction and testing the various options. I’m really happy with this one. It’s an interesting and very squishy hat.
It is based on Barbara Walker’s Double Basket Pattern. The stitch pattern is just knits and purls.
Like my Basket Weave Beanie I’m writing the pattern to be easily sized by adjusting the number of stitch patterns knit.
If you are interested, you can buy the pattern on my ravelry store or click here: Buy Now.
