These uniquely constructed bags are remarkably simple to knit, yet the finished product looks remarkably complicated. The bottom is knit flat using short rows to create a flat, circular pinwheel. The body is then picked up and also knit flat. A hem provides a casing for the drawstring. In three useful sizes and a variety of simple patterns, these bags can tote small knitting projects, carry your gaming dice, or organize your tote bag.
