Knitted in-the-round with circular needles, this bag grows quickly with our Thicck & Chunky yarn to make the ultimate fit everything Big Bag. It is worked from the bottom up, starting with the base circle shape that grows outwards, which then gradually decreases in stitch count up the body, towards the handle opening. The handles are knitted integrated within-the-round.
