Lace Knitting

Constance's Bag

This bag, made for Knitlister Constance Harker, is 3 inches high and 2 inches wide. It was knitted from teal blue DMC perle 8 cotton on size 0000 needles. I cast on 8 stitches and increased with 8 evenly spaced yo's around the bottom until I had 40 stitches on 4 double-pointed needles. From that point I worked straight in diagonal trellis, sort of an ad hoc faggotting stitch (*k2tog, yo* every row), then switched to stockinette stitch briefly, with a row of 10 holes made by k2tog, yo for the cord. The frilly top was done in Old Shale and a twisted cord was threaded through the holes.

Lois's Bag

This bag, which has bead knitted initials and decoration, was one of my earliest tiny bags.
