I love knit bags, and there’s nothing better than knitting a bag to hold knitting stuff (though it’s better to line a bag if it’s going to have knitting needles in it; this pattern doesn’t cover that but because it’s knit flat that would be super easy to do).
The Aspen Mountain Knit Bag from Mama in a Stitch is really cute and super easy to knit. It uses bulky yarn so it will knit up in no time in a simple stitch pattern with a lot of texture.
Add purchased handles as you sew the bag together and you’re ready to go on your next adventure. With your knitting. Or whatever else you want to hold in your bag.
Do you ever knit bags? I’d love to hear about your experience.

September 21, 2016 at 12:20 amI’ve knit small bags, one for an iPhone, another to carry phone charging cords, and a whole bunch of gift-card bags. I like to cast on for the bottom of the bag, then knit around on both sides of the cast-on row, and work the bag in the round, to avoid seams. If I tried this pattern, I might convert to knitting in the round.
