Sizes vary based on yarn used and needle sizes.

UPDATE (2019-06-15) - the pattern now includes instructions for two different types of handles: centre handles or side handles.

Testing bag sizes made are:
(1) cotton yarn was a medium sized bag (approximately 12 inches or 30cm wide) used approx 250m of yarn with 5.5mm circular needles
(2) phentex yarn was a medium sized bag (approximately 12 inches or 30cm wide) using size 7mm circular needles
(3) unknown worsted weight yarn produced a larger and stretchier bag by knitting more loosely and with size 8mm (11US) circular needles
