ABOUT THE PATTERN
#VENUSBAG is worked in one piece from the bottom up. The base is worked from the center outward using spiral increases while the textured stitch pattern is established. Once the base is complete, the textured pattern is continued until the desired length is reached. The work is then divided for the handles, which are worked separately in the established pattern before being joined at the center using the Kitchener stitch.
