start with 30 chain. HDC first row. DC, chain 2, DC every other HDC. Following rows, put DCs into chain stitches and alternate. Trim with HDC all the way around.
Used most of the ball of self striping and added some of my solid white. Made one cloth using the color as the inside of the blocks and the other as the outside. These knit up so quickly!
Started with a double stranded bottom on dpns and then increased out gradually. Using a mesh stitch for the body of the bag. On the top decreases. 4/1: Finished handles, just need to weave in ends and take pictures.

Decreased and added a few stockingette rows and an eyelet row in case I wanted a drawstring half way up. More mesh and then handles at the top. Finished knitting 3/15, still need to…

I took this pattern as inspiration and made it my own with a custom bottom, working circularly instead of flat, and eyelets for a drawstring before the handles. Bottom notes: I used short rows to make the center of the base be wider. Then I used short rows on the sides to create a boat-like…
I made a set of potholders for my mother-in-law for just a nice gift for letting us come and stay at their house for a week.
