Oh My Market Bag

Market bag with airy stitches knitted in organic, plant dyed cotton.

Construction
Knitted from handle to handle. You knit the first handle then cast off most stitches. Work the rest while first increasing and then decreasing. In the end you have the same amount of stitches as in the beginning. Make a lot of new stitches and work the second handle before casting off.
