Ma-Sil 마실, is the Korean word for errands or out about. The Ma-Sil Bag is a fun and practical bag perfect for running errands or a trip to the market. It is knit with a chunky cotton yarn to keep it durable, washable, and light.

The bag is begun by knitting the bottom of the bag in a garter stitch rectangle and folding this in half before picking up stitches around the bottom panel, the body is knit in the round in a broken rib stitch. Decreases on the front and back sides of the bag influence the unique shape, while the narrow side of the bag is knit beyond the body to create the handle of the bag.
