Overview
Another great stash buster, Ditty Bag is a fulled bag worked flat from side to side and turned into a tube with a 3-needle bind off. Bottom is picked up and worked in the round. A rolled stockinette border at the top edge has holes made with yarn overs for threading the I-cord handles directly or installing grommets. Border also conceals yarn tails, so there is very little weaving in to finish the bag.

Pattern Details
The pattern gives row by row directions for one bag as well as instructions for knitting it DIY using chaordic knitting. Either size bag can be worked with the row by row directions. Two sizes are given, one 14”(36cm) tall and wide before fulling, the smaller bag 11” (28cm) high x 12” (30cm) wide. Finished sizes will vary by amount of fulling.

Complete directions for fulling in a top or front load washer and dryer are included.
