Download Knitting Needle Knitting Bag

Pam Allen indulged her fondness for the berry stitch in this quick-and-easy knitting bag whose cigar shape was inspired by a bag she saw in a catalog. For the front and back, she knitted two slightly shaped rectangles and seamed them along the bottom and partway up the sides. Rather than binding off, she placed the live stitches on wooden knitting needles, squished them together to form soft gathers, and applied a little superglue. Garter-stitch handles sewn to the front and back are all that’s needed to finish the bag. This particular bag isn’t lined, but it would be an easy matter to use the front and back as pattern pieces and add a cheery print lining to prevent needles from poking through.

Finished Size: About 18¾" (47.5 cm) wide and 9" (23 cm) tall, excluding handles.

Yarn: Chunky weight (#5 Bulky). Shown here: Nashua Handknits Creative Focus Chunky (75% wool, 25% alpaca; 110 yd [101 m]/100 g): #1940 dried rose, 3 balls.

Needles: Bag—size 10½ (6.5 mm). Handles—size 9 (5.5 mm). Adjust needle size if necessary to obtain the correct gauge.

Notions: Tapestry needle; size 15 (10 mm) wooden needles; superglue.

Gauge: 17 stitches and 19 rows = 4" (10 cm) in pattern stitch on larger needles.

Skill Level: Easy

I know that the look is to have the knitting needle at the top of both sides but I was wondering if there is anything else that could used instead of a pair of needles.  Could you suggest anything?

Thank you.

You could use a dowel with a knob on either end.  I don't care for that bare point on the one end of each needle.  .  Go to a craft store and you'll find something.

Gina, thank you for the suggestion.  I will go into a craft store and see if I can find something...like a dowel.  Yes, I prefer a knob on each end.

If you think of a particular item or a particular store I should go to, please let me know.  (I live in NYC and travel in NYC and Long Island.)

You can email me at nwoodkfh@hotmail.com

Thank you again.

I made this for my sister.  It made the biggest hit at her knitters' guild...I called it the ultimate unfinshed project!

I've seen pictures of this on another site, and it had a cute printed lining. But I can't find directions for a lining! Help, anyone? Thank you.
