Puffy Drawstring Bag

Lion Brand® Sasha

GAUGE:

12 sts = 4 in. [10 cm] in Garter st (k every row). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

Puffy Drawstring Bag Reviewed by Paula Allen on 2009-06-25 *****
I am about halfway through the first of two pieces -- I love this yarn! The fabric looks like fleece, very dense at this gauge, but soft. A couple of tips: If you're a Continental knitter, be prepared to learn to pick and throw. As a tape yarn, Sasha doesn't come off the needles that easily. Still, it works up fast. I plan to buy a skein of Lion Suede in Coffee or Ebony to make the braid for the drawstring; might line it with a cognac-colored Ultrasuede-type fabric to play up the fleece aspect. This is a super-easy pattern, but the bag will be really nice!
