Materials Needed:

• Chunky yarn
• Two hands for hand knitting

Step-by-Step Guide:

Create a Slip Knot

• Take the end of the yarn, place it underneath itself to form a loop.
• Stick two fingers through the loop, grab the long part of the yarn, and pull to tighten, forming a slip knot.

Make the First Row of Stitches

• Insert your fingers through the slip knot loop again.
• Grab the long piece of yarn from behind and pull it through to create the first stitch.
• Repeat the process until you have six stitches for the bottom row.

Start Building the Bag

• For each stitch, find the hole closest to the end, insert your fingers, and pull the long yarn through.
• Create six loops on one side of the bag.

Repeat for the Opposite Side

• Instead of the extreme end loop, find the second from the end (spirally look).
• Repeat the process of inserting your fingers and pulling up the loop.
• Complete six loops for this side.

Continue Adding Height

• After finishing the rows on both sides for the base, start adding rows upward.
• Use the same method: insert fingers into the loops and pull yarn through.
• Keep repeating this until you’ve achieved the desired height of the bag.

Finish the Top of the Bag

• After achieving the desired height, stop adding new rows.
• Flip the bag inside out if you prefer the V-shaped pattern outward.

Creating the Bag Strap

• Cut a length of yarn sufficient to travel around the bag’s brim and back.
• Weave this yarn through the top loops, pulling it tight to secure the top and form a bag opening.

Knit the Strap

• Attach additional yarn at one end to start knitting the strap.
• Create a chain by making loops until you reach the desired strap length.
• Secure the end of the strap by tying and cutting off the excess yarn.

Attach the Strap

• Attach each end of the strap to opposite sides of the bag by weaving the ends through the top loops and securing them.

Final Touches

• Tuck all loose ends inside the stitches or cut them off for a cleaner look.
• Adjust the tightness of the stitches if needed to prevent items from falling out through gaps.

Additional Tips:

• If you find the stitches too loose, increase the tightness by pulling the yarn harder as you form loops.
• Practice makes perfect. If the first attempt is wonky, try again with adjusted tightness and consistency of loops.
