This soft little bag can be filled with candy or other delights and given to a child (or a child at heart).
This little goodie bag is a fast, easy project and a great way to use up partial balls of yarn in your stash. It can be filled with candy or other delights and given to a child (or a child at heart).

The bag is knit in one piece and then folded in half at the bottom and seamed at the sides. The finished bag is approx. 3" wide and 4" in height.

Although I originally designed it for Easter, with a little imagination you could knit one for any holiday ... or just because.

Step 1
With two strands of yarn, cast on 14 stitches. You'll knit with two strands throughout the entire project.
Step 2
Knit four rows in garter stitch.
Step 3
Starting with a purl row (wrong side), work five rows stockinette. You should end with a purl row.
Step 4
Knit the eyelet row: K1, *YO, K2TOG*, repeat. Knit the last stitch.
Step 5
Beginning with a purl row, work stockinette for three inches.
Step 6
Starting with a purl row (wrong side), knit two rows. (This forms a ridge that is the beginning of the fold at the bottom of the bag.)
Step 7
Purl one row. (This is the bottom of the bag.)
Step 8
Knit three rows. (This forms the second ridge in the fold.)
Step 9
Beginning with a purl row (wrong side), work stockinette for three inches, ending with a purl row.
Step 10
Knit the eyelet row: K1 *YO, K2TOG*, repeat. Knit the last stitch.
Step 11
Beginning with a purl row (wrong side), work five rows of stockinette.
Step 12
Knit four rows garter stitch.
Step 13
Bind off.
Step 14
Fold the bag in half along the ridges at the bottom and seam the sides using mattress stitch, aligning the eyelets so they are on the same row all the way around the bag. (I used one strand of yarn for the seam.)
Step 15
Cut a strand of yarn approx. 17 inches long and weave it in and out the eyelets, stringing the decorative buttons on it at regular intervals. Knot the two ends of the string together a couple inches from the end. Thread a bead on to each of the ends and secure it with a knot. (See photo)
Step 16
Fill with candy or other goodies and give to loved one.
