a trug supreme
another great knitting bag
I made this up studying a commercially produced bag I received as a gift, but any flat tote pattern could be adapted to make a trug. (When you're done, turn the bag inside out, flatten and then sew across both corners to give the bag a bottom. Trim the corners and cover the seam with binding.) The dimensions of the finished bag are: 17"w, 6"h, 5"d. It has a magnetic closure and a little inner pocket sewn down when the handles (17" long including the 3/4 inch at each end sewn into the top) were added. Et voilá!
