Mary's Summer Bag Pattern, Small from KnitPicks.com Knitting. Ruth’s Crafterly » Blog Archive » Cabled Clutch. Ok, it’s finally done! I’ve posted pics of the process, and how I knitted it up (a pattern) below. I knitted it up until the desired length. A close-up of the cable (I used a needle top from my Boye Needlemaster set) I bought dowels and used a handsaw to cut it to the right size. Then I used a pencil sharpener to sharpen the ends, and then I stained it a dark rosewood color.

Sewing it up together and put on a ribbon – tada! Here’s the back. A top view so you can see the lining and the handles and the magnet buttons. So here’s how I did it – I took info from a KR thread and slightly tweaked it to my own makeshift specifications: Materials: 1 ball of Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick (80% Acrylic/20% Wool); 2 wooden dowels (each 6-7 inches long); hot glue; 1.5 yards of ribbon Needles: #13 straights, cable needle Pattern: Cast on 34 stitches. Row 1 – p2 (k2, p2, k8, p2), repeat between (parentheses) one more time for a total of 2 cables, ending with k2, p2.

Elisa Nest Tote. This pretty tote bag was designed by Elisa, an Italian knitter and blogger who saw the Climbing Trellis Lace Pattern here on the Purl Bee. She calls it her "No More Plastic Bag, Thank You! " It is a fast knit that takes only a few hours to complete. Elisa's Nest Tote can be made from just about any cotton yarn (linen or hemp yarn work nicely, too). The stretchy lace stitch makes this bag practical and quite durable. We would choose this dainty and durable tote over a plastic bag any day! Elisa's Nest Tote measures about 8 inches wide and 12 inches long when empty.
