Notes

For this 2nd hosta bag, I decided to work only 4 repeats of the leaves rather than 5. Mainly because I wanted symmetric bumps at the top for easier handle placement but also because that gave me the bag size I wanted in this yarn/hook combination.

I worked 7 increases instead of 8 but did not alter the straight sections between.

For the partial leaves at the top of the bag I worked 5 increases.

I worked 3bp decrease in 2 steps of 2 to avoid any hint of a bump in the last few rows.

I also worked in a spiral again to avoid any kind of seam.

Thanks for an awesome pattern. I’ve wanted to make this for ages and am not disappointed.
