Chunky Comfort Keeper Bag Pattern

Description

The richly textured Chunky Comfort Keeper Bag is the perfect place to hold very special things. It features lush cables, a moss stitch, a delicate zigzag seed stitch edging at the top, and a string closure.

Worked from the bottom up, the bag begins flat until a square is formed. Then, stitches are picked up around the edges and the bag is knitted from there in the round. A tubular rib is created at the top for running cord strings through. Knit in &Make Super Bulky, a 100% natural Highland wool single-ply yarn in spectacular colors, this fun project will keep you engaged from start to finish!

This pattern is also available as a kit, that includes the PDF pattern and 2 balls of &Make Super Bulky.
