At the beginning of the year I started attending a monthly sock knitting group at my local yarn store. It is so refreshing to chat with other knitters, see their projects and share tips and ideas. Of course having a small project bag dedicated to my sock club projects is handy, so I raided my fabric stash to stitch up a cheery tote.
(A printable version of my 2 Skein Sock Bag is available in my pattern shop and includes all of the pieces needed to create this bag so you don't have to do any measuring or drawing.)
And finally, the very best part, fill your bag with yarn, your latest project and your favorite knitting necessities.

Directions
Before you start cutting your fabric, you'll need to draw a template for the bottom piece of the bag. Using a compass, draw a circle with a 3 3/8 inch radius on a piece of paper and cut out the circle.(A printable version of my 2 Skein Sock Bag is available in my pattern shop and includes all of the pieces needed to create this bag so you don't have to do any measuring or drawing.)
