With the rest of the yarns from the “rescue blanket” I decided to try to knit a Bento bag. As long as the rectangle made is in the ratio of 1 x 3. ie: 10 “ x 30”. Then the rectangle is folded in such a way as to produce the “bag” shape with 2 seams to sew and a handle to connect the two top edges. See photos and Tolt’s blog. As it is a simple shape to make I decided to use some new stitch patterns. The first one is The Twisted Knot , using one main colour (light blue) and 4 others from the blanket. They ended up being 1 x yellow & 3 x greens. The next one will be in either the Checked Rose stitch or the Slipstitch Crosses Stitch.
