Felted Tribal Bag
Lion Brand® Fishermen's Wool®
GAUGE: 13 sts + 18 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in pattern, with 2 strands of yarn held tog, before felting. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
STITCH EXPLANATION: M1 (make 1) An increase worked by lifting horizontal thread lying between needles and placing it onto left needle. Knit this new stitch through the back loop - 1 st increased.
STRIPE PATTERN
*Work 2 rows with 2 strands of A held tog, 2 rows with 2 strands of B held tog, 2 rows with 2 strands of C held tog; rep from * for Stripe Pattern.
|
NOTES: 1. Circular needle is used to accommodate large number of sts. Work back and forth on circular needle as if working on straight needles.
2. Bag is worked with 2 strands of yarn held together. Wind each skein of yarn into 2 separate balls before beginning.
3. Carry colors not in use up side of piece.
4. With yarn in front (wyif) refers to the side of the work facing you as you work the row; with yarn in back (wyib) refers to the side of the work that is away from you as you work the row. To move yarn from front to back or back to front, bring yarn between needles. Take care not to wrap yarn over a needle, this could create an additional st.
5. When you see "- 12 sts" in the instructions, this lets you know how many sts you will have at the end of that specific row.
