finished!
This bag is loosely based on a string bag pattern from here, but I did the handles differently (crochet). (I’ll add a direct pattern link after I knit another one, I think; I think this is my best one from last summer, but I want to make sure before I go hyping it up.)
I found the decreases confusing, but this is because I ignored the pattern even though I think the guy who wrote it worked really hard on them, and had the wrong number of stitches at the beginning, so I was kind of faking it til they fell in line. Anyway I am really happy with it and it makes me want to make endless string bags like the @milkweedman.
It can contain at least one orange! It can probably hold more, but I’m not going to test it to failure; it took me months to finish this thing.
