1. Using both strands of yarn E-wrap Cast on 14 stitches to round 41 peg Knifty Knitter loom (or new 40 peg loom). Counter-clockwise to the starter peg, work as a flat panel in ew 30 rows making sure your working yarn is back to the starter peg for the next row.

Row 18: P
Rows 19 – 23 EW
Row 24: P
Rows 25 – 29: EW
Row 30: P
Rows 31 -32: EW
Bind Off:
Use the basic bind off loosely as to not over tighten opening of bag.
Handle for mesh Bag:
Spool loom. 2 strands 1.5 times diameter of yellow loom or 52.5-54.5″ long depending on material.
Weave the icord into the top of the bag between the knit stitch columns. Row to start the weaving. Look at the top of the bag. Weave between the two top purl rows. I started mine just above the bottom purl row (it’s the 2nd to last purl row you completed). Connect the ends by tying together and weaving in the rest. Feed access handle material equally on opposite sides to pull outward, making it look like two handles. See picture. Pull both handles to drawstring close and look like a purse or pull all of one handle to make as a shoulder strap! Weave in all loose strands.
I am a 13 year old girl and trying to do a loom knit mesh bag for my 10 year old cousin and I am really enjoying doing it because it gets me entertained and focused.And I am almost finish with the mesh bag. Love Loom knitting!!!
Could this work on the 58 peg loom?
Do you think it would be okay to make it a bit longer or would that cause problems? If you think it would be okay, what area do you recommend increasing.. a couple of extra sets of ew 5, p1 or extra sets of ew 8, p 1?
Thanks for the video tutorials by the way. You did an excellent job on it!
can this be done on a smaller lion brand loom?
Yes! Cast on 1/3 the peg and knit until you have enough length to reach the other side of the loom without being too tight. You may have to knit a few more rows before the sides will have enough to stretch over to the other side without being too tight for the pegs. Once you do that continue on with the pattern. Just add sections of the design till you get your desired length! 🙂 Thanks and Happy Looming! -Kristen

I just finished this little bag and put an ice cream bucket in it to use it as a knitting bag.
That’s a great idea!
i’ve been knitting and crocheting for many years, but have just started loom knitting. I’m looking forward to trying this pattern. Thank you!
