A Small Bag [Pattern]

When I started this pattern, I really had a purpose in mind – and I will continue with designing another pattern, most likely crochet, that will serve this purpose.

This pattern was a prototype boo-boo. Even though the little bag doesn’t serve the purpose that I was designing for, it is still an adorable little bag (or at least I think it is). 

What could you use it for? A gift bag for something like a ring, a couple candy kisses, or perhaps a little bag for a doll (a duffle type bag for a Barbie size doll or a little hand satchel for a larger doll). The bag itself is about an inch in diameter, perhaps an inch and a half tall.

Cast off by cutting the yarn (leaving several inches). Using a tapestry needle and the end tail, pick up all 9 st

Finish by weaving in the starting tail.

you can use a small clip of yarn to make a little drawstring by weaving it through the holes created in Row 4.

To make a longer bag – add more knit rows  to the body of the bag (row 7- ???).
