Platted Bag

As knitters we always are on the hunt for another bag for all of our knitted projects. This pattern checks all the boxes, a fun knit that becomes your next project bag. This design is just right for those 2 skein projects on the go, or you can fold the top of the bag inward and create a knitted basket perfect for your work in progress.
