Knifty knitter messenger bag?

Question

Where can I find a pattern to make a messenger bag on the Knifty knitter? Not with knitting needles, but the KNIFTY KNITTER, or any type of knitting loom. I don't know how to knit with needles. Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

Answer 1

If you can not find a pattern, (easier for beginner knitters,) make a tube as wide as you want your bag to be. Use a pattern for a sweater, or tube shaped scarf, for size.
You need to make that tube as long as you want your bag to be deep.
Now cast of half the stitches, (or slightly more if you want deep sides,) and keep knitting the ones left on the frame. You will need to go left to right - right to left, and so on. Do not knit the first stitch on the row where you turn around. (This is a trick often used when knitting with needles.)
Make this bit as long as the tube.

After you have cast of, you need to sew the bottom of the bag, and maybe line your bag if you want it to keep shape. For a strap you can make a straight narrow strip the same way, even direct on the bag, or you can sew any length of fabric or leather to the bag.

PS, to add links, go to the page you want to link to, highlight the address bar and copy, (contrl + c on window computers,) now go to the place you want the link to go and paste, (contrl + v on window computers.) This site will see the address starting with http and highlight and hide parts in preview and posted, but if you click on it it will work.

Messenger bags define "hip" by being nearly an anti-fashion statement. They look casual and trendy all at once. And, like a denim jacket or a concert t-shirt, they can actually become even cooler the older and more beat up they become. In addition to the fact that these bags are usually roomy enough hold a lot of stuff, their large, straight surface is the perfect canvas for pins, buttons, patches and other embellishments. This prime real estate will allow one to customize their bag to their liking. Custom is always cool, hence, so is the messenger bag.
