Can’t find the perfect project bag? Make one! Cable stitches are used to mimic the look of I-Cords on the outside, hence the name C-Cord. I-Cord drawstrings cinch the bag closed and double as carrying handles. When open, the cords magically tuck themselves away. Multiple sizes are listed to suit your needs. Charts and written instructions for the pattern are included.

Use a J-Style cable needle for the wrap stitches. Far easier than the straight style of cable needle.

For the bottom of the bag, it is easier to use two circular needles as opposed to a single, long needle using Magic Loop. For the body of the bag, adjust the circular needle size for working in the round, with just a single needle.

Pattern contains YouTube video links to all the techniques used to make the bag.
