Pazar Market Bag by Catherine Salter Bayar

Craft: Knitting

This pattern is available on Ravelry.

Multi-functional bag for market, beach or anywhere casual. Variegated stripes and a changing texture play add visual fun while knitting and using this quick project.

Pattern Notes 

The bag is started from the bottom with a provisional cast on and worked flat. Stitches are then picked up for the sides and the bag is worked in the round. The garter rib pattern transitions to a vertical eyelet stitch, then back to the garter rib for a top border. The top of the bag is bound off in an I-cord edging. The I-cord edged strap is worked flat from one side and stitched to the live strap stitches on the other side.
