Gift Bags in Four Sizes




Gift Bags

Created By Judith Prindle 12/14, 2007

Size 6 Double Point Knitting Needles
Worsted Weight Yarn
Ribbon for ties.


Notes:

Gauge is not important.
Thes bags are knit in the round, but I just started knitting
and "joined" the top edge after I knit them. Just do as you prefer.

My bags finished sizes are:

54 stitches: size 8 needles; 6" X 6"
54 stitches: size 6 needles; 5&1/4" wide X 5&1/2" tall.
Gift Card Bag: 3" wide X 4&1/2" tall.
Itty Bitty Bag: 2&1/4" wide by 2&1/2" tall.
