Knitted Bag

Materials Needed

2 Skeins of Cord Caramel Yarn (Color: Biscuit, Weight: 200g each, Composition: Polyester and Cashmilon, Thread Width: 5mm, Length: 75 meters)
4mm Crochet Hook (4.5mm if needed)
Markers (optional)
Scissors

Preparing the Yarn

Begin by rewinding about 50cm of yarn to work with both ends.

Starting the Base

Create the initial loop, counting it as the first stitch.
Row 1: Use the tip and main yarn to knit 12 loops, alternating between them.
Row 2: Turn the lace towards you and start working in the second pigtail from the hook, knitting single knit stitches by inserting the hook through both the pigtail and the purl, ensuring the thread lays flat and beautifully.
In the last stitch of the row, knit 3 single (this creates a turning semi-circle).

Building the Sides

Subsequent Rows: For a neat oval shape, continue adding stitches by working single knits on each side of the base, increasing at both ends of the oval to start forming the sides. Work a total of 11 rows for the main body.
Pattern Technique: When working the pattern, insert the hook under the "left leg" of each stitch and into a visible hole (described as under the pigtail), then knit a single knit, ensuring uniformity and symmetry. This technique is applied throughout the pattern except for specific increases around the semicircle.
Connection: With both parts knitted, connect them using slip stitches along the outer edge, working alternately between the loops of each side for a neat join.

Finishing Touches

Steam or iron the pieces before final assembly for a neater look.
Create a strap or handle as preferred (material suggestions include leather or a matching yarn).
For a closure, suggestions include creating an additional flap with the same pattern but only 9 rows instead of 11, or attaching a pre-made leather flap. Option for adding a briefcase lock or a magnetic button for security.
