Part 1: The Bag Body
Work with fluffy/mohair yarn and 3.0 mm hook.
Getting Started – The Base
We are going to work in the round, starting from the bottom of the bag and working upward. The bag body is a simple tube shape that we will later close at the top and add a strap.
Foundation: Start with a magic ring.
- Round 1: 6 hdc in MR (6)
- Round 2: 6 hdc-inc (12)
- Round 3: (1 hdc, inc) × 6 times (18)
Continue increasing according to the pattern’s stitch counts. The exact number of rounds and increases will determine the size of your bag. The pattern suggests working until you reach your desired circumference.
Tip: If you are using a different yarn weight, you can adjust the size by increasing more or fewer rounds.
