About the Pattern

The #JANEBAG is worked from the bottom up in stockinette stitch. First, the base is worked flat in stockinette stitch. Stitches are then picked up along the edges of the base to form the body of the bag, which is worked in the round. Once the sides are completed, stitches are bound off to shape the handle openings, and the handles are then worked. Finally, I-cord edgings are worked around the top edge of the bag as well as around the handle openings for a clean and structured finish.
