I did a regular long tail cast on and then tightened the string around the circle because the cast on called for seemed like a temper tantrum waiting to happen. Used size 6 needles for base, top border and handles. Size 10.5 for holey stuff.

Made modifications that my friend Pam (CanIKnitNow) made in her Modified Market Bag which made tapered sides on the handles. Did the same as her except I did k2togs and ssks on RS.

Used exactly one ball of each color. Made 18 eyelet hole rounds

Fast knit and cute!
