Details
The Helix Bag is knitted in an all over twisted stitch from the bottom up, using both flat and circular knitting. The pattern encourages you to create your own yarn through repurposing unwanted fabrics like old duvets, sheets and clothing you have at home. Full instructions for this process are included in the pattern. The fabric yarn creates a really strong and textured knitted structure, ideal for a bag!

With step-by-step, easy-to-follow instructions this pattern uses the following techniques: Long tail cast on, knit, purl, slip stitch, picking up stitches, decreasing, cast off and whip stitch.
