Like the looks of the bag. A couple of questions, however. How much yardage? Size of completed bag? Also wondering about the pattern, noted it has a 4 round repeat. The last 2 rounds are the same as the first 2 rounds, so why not just repeat the 2 rounds? Thanks, Fran
Thanks for sharing the pattern. My sister is a beginning knitter and she's going to try this as one of her first projects. She's really excited and so am I.
Love this bag! Question, when you do top of bag, the 1 1/2 inch is finished stitch garter or stockinette? I'm not sure if I'm to knit the whole 1 1/2 inch which would look like stockinette or knit one row, purl one row which would look like garter. Thank you
