the Loopy Little Bag!
Just in time for spring, here is a free, easy pattern for a girly bag with a loopy fringe. It knits up quickly with one skein of Berroco Zen. If you knit this, send me a comment and/or a photo to let me know how it turned out.
Loopy Little Bag - one skein of Berocco Zen Ribbon
Materials
Insert right needle into stitch as if to knit. Form a short loop with working yarn and pass loop between needles from back to front. Holding loop behind work with middle finger of right hand, pass stitch from left to right needle. Continuing to hold loop behind work, insert tip of left needle under two new stitches on right needle and knit the stitch. Pull on the loop to tighten it up. Repeat this stitch across the row.
