GAUGE:
14.5 stitches = 4" [10 cm] in stockinette stitch (knit on right side, purl on wrong side) on larger needle before felting. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE.
BAG With larger needles, cast on 90 stitches. Work in stockinette stitch for
40" (101.5 cm). Bind off. Fold in half widthwise with wrong sides together.
Using crochet hook, slip stitch side seams together.
Ruffles With double-pointed needles, cast on 6 stitches. *Slide stitches to other
end of double-pointed needle and knit them, pulling yarn tightly across the back
of the work. (Do not turn work.) Repeat from * until cord measures 20 feet (6
m). With crochet hook, use slip stitch to attach cord around opening of Bag,
making the loops approximately 6–7" (15–18 cm) long.
