    Kids' Teensy Treasures Bag

    I came up with the idea for this bag for a


    very simple reason: you can find this style
    EVERYWHERE in Switzerland. Seriously,
    what I remember (perhaps incorrectly) as
    a passing fad in the United States took
    deep roots in Swiss soil, much like the
    "Parental Advisory" branded clothing and
    hats that, while virtually extinct stateside,
    still roam the Swiss countryside like long-
    hunted wolves. Wait! What am I talking
    about? Oh yeah - the bag! They're
    everywhere here, and they're all the same
    size: adult. Which gave me the oh-so-
    clever idea to create a variety of kid sizes,
    since kids, without question, freakin' love
    bags. Oh, and if you love the look of this
    too, you're in luck, since the extra-large
    size is basically just adult. :)

    Sizes: Small (Medium; Large; Extra-Large) Kids' Teensy Treasures Bag

    (approximate finished dimensions: 6"


    pictured in size medium
    wide by 7.5" tall [8" x 9.5"; 10" x 11.5", 12"
    x 13.5"])

    Yarn: Patons Grace (100% Mercerized Cotton; 136


    yards [125 meters]/50 grams); #62628 Fiesta - 2 skeins (2 skeins; 3 skeins; 3 - 4 skeins)

    Needles: Straight needles in size US 4, one 16" circular needle in size US 5, double
    1/7
    pointed needles (dpns) in size US 5 for making i-
    cords, cable needle (cn)

    Notions: Tapestry needle, 3 stitch markers

    Gauge: 24 stitches = 4 inches in stockinette

    So let's get this started! To begin this bag, then,


    we'll start by knitting the two drawstring-holding
    portions at the top separately and back-and-forth
    before joining them in the round (so the purled
    strips at the top that your straps lace through).
    With that in mind, and using your size US 4
    needles, cast on 36 (48; 60; 72) stitches loosely.
    Then work the following rows:

    Row 1 (right side): slip 1 stitch, purl until end of


    row A closer view of the grommet

    hole thingamabob. I know, I'm a poet.


    Row 2: slip 1 stitch, knit until end of row

    Knit rows 1 & 2 five times and then knit row 1 once more (all sizes). Then, clip yarn tail
    and transfer work to your size US 5 circular needle to resume later. Again, using your
    size US 4 needles, cast on 36 (48; 60; 72) stitches loosely and work rows 1 & 2 five
    times and row 1 once more, although this time, when you finish, don't clip the tail.
    Transfer the work you've just finished to your size 5 needle, next to your other piece,
    making sure that the right sides (purl sides) are both oriented correctly, and that the
    piece you've just finished, with the running yarn connected, is lined up on the right-
    hand needle of your circulars so that you can continue work in the round. At that
    point, join in round, place row marker, and then knit one row around. Then we'll knit
    one transition/marker placement row, as follows. Since it's different for the different
    sizes, I have listed each size's row separately for ease.

    Transition/Marker Placement Row (small): [(k2, m1r) twice, k2, p2, k20, place marker,
    p2, (k2, m1r) twice, k2] twice (80 stitches)

    Transition/Marker Placement Row (medium): [(k2, m1r) twice, k2, p2, k32, place
    marker, p2, (k2, m1r) twice, k2] twice (104 stitches)

    Transition/Marker Placement Row (large): [(k2, m1r) twice, k2, p2, k44, place marker,
    p2, (k2, m1r) twice, k2] twice (128 stitches)

    Transition/Marker Placement Row (extra-large): [(k2, m1r) twice, k2, p2, k56, place
    marker, p2, (k2, m1r) twice, k2] twice (152 stitches)

    Knit this transition/marker placement row, and then we'll begin our main pattern, as
    follows. You will need the following notation, although bear in mind that you can
    always cable without the cable needle, if you'd prefer:

    back cross (bc): slip next two stitches to cn and hold in back; k2; k2 from cn
    2/7
    front cross (fc): slip next two stitches to cn and hold in front; k2; k2 from cn

    Anyway, once you've got that down, we'll continue like so for all sizes:

    Row 1: (k8, p2, knit until you reach marker, slip marker, p2, k8) twice

    Row 2: (fc, bc, p2, knit until you reach marker, slip marker, p2, fc, bc) twice

    Rows 3 - 5: (k8, p2, knit until you reach marker, slip marker, p2, k8) twice

    Row 6: (bc, fc, p2, knit until you reach marker, slip marker, p2, bc, fc) twice

    Rows 7 & 8: (k8, p2, knit until you reach marker, slip marker, p2, k8) twice

    Knit in pattern until piece measures roughly 6" (8"; 10"; 12") from bottom of purled
    section and you've just finished row 6 of the pattern. Then we'll work a few finish
    rows, as follows:

    Finish Row 1: [k2, k2tog, (yo) twice, ssk, k2, p2, knit until you reach marker, slip
    marker, p2, k2, k2tog, (yo) twice, ssk, k2] twice

    Finish Row 2: (k8, p2, knit until you reach marker, slip marker, p2, k8) twice, working a
    (k1, p1) in each double yo

    Finish Row 3: (k8, p2, knit until you reach marker, slip marker, p2, k8) twice

    Finish Row 4: (fc, bc, p2, knit until you reach marker, slip marker, p2, fc, bc) twice

    Finish Rows 5 - 7: (k8, p2, knit until you reach marker, slip marker, p2, k8) twice

    Knit finish rows 1 - 7. Then, you can either seam the bottom of the bag by turning it
    inside out, dividing your stitches in half (these divides should, of course, line up with
    the ends of the purled sections above), and using a three needle bind off (this is what
    I did), or you can divide the stitches in half and then graft, or you can simply bind off
    regularly and seam. In any case, now's the time to bind off and seam the bottom of
    the bag. Once that's done, finish the purled drawstring-holding sections at the top by
    whip-stitching the cast-on edge in place (I whip-stitched them to the purls on the
    wrong-side of the transition row), and then, if desired, whip-stitch around the double
    yo holes at the bottom of the bag to reinforce them. I whip-stitched both sides of
    mine together for extra security, but of course if you whip-stitch them separately or
    simply leave them be you'll be able to hide the strap knots inside of the bag, if you'd
    like. Whatever you choose to do, once you've done it, tuck in ends and block.

    Which brings us to the straps. To make them, use your size US 5 dpns to make two 4-
    stitch i-cords that are 32" (40"; 48"; 56") long apiece. Tuck in ends and block, if
    desired. After that's done, you can lace your bag up like you see demonstrated below.
    And FINALLY, knot ends of i-cords and hand to nearest child.

    Please don't make fun of my picture.

    You have no idea how long it took me to

    make this, guys!
