Girls, Women

Item:

Bag

Skill Level:

Novice

Basic Skills Necessary:

sloppy seaming
wonky knitting
wonky purling

Pattern Description:

This is a great beginner project because it's made up of 3 rectangles. Depending on which closure you choose (there are 3), you can get away with only knowing how to knit & purl! You can also make all the errors of a novice knitter - wonky cast ons & cast offs, wobbly stitches, etc. - and you can hide them (& your ends) away in the seams. :)

For more experienced knitters, this is a great, practical little pattern to use up leftover sock yarn.

What might you keep in your pouch?

* Attach it to your laptop bag's strap & keep a USB stick, internet dongle, or other small accessories in it.
* Put your knitting notions in it & toss it in your WIP bag.
* Put your MP3 player in it & go out for a jog!
* Put a few notes in it & go out dancing.
* Slide it onto your guitar's headstock to keep your picks.

30 stitches and 36 rows = 4 inches in stocking stitch
