This bag pattern is requested by charity knitters for nursing homes. The bags are used for wheelchair folks that find the bag fits nicely over handle ends, without dragging downwards. The nursing home patients like to keep extra tissues, an extra pair of glasses or even a candy treat with them. If you want a great “ get together” project for you next guild meeting, you must make these and donate to your nearest senior center or assisted living facility! These knit up very quickly, so make a few for friends and for yourself to keep your spare pair of sunglasses with you, or for small change, and extra gum, etc, in your purse. A good pattern to use up scraps in no time! Use worsted weight yarns, knitting needles, US # 10, and # 10.5.
