Knitted Gift Bags

The knitted gift bags will become a “go-to” pattern for  year-round occasions. While one can be knit in just minutes, color changes make them holiday-appropriate.

This machine knitting pattern is the companion pattern for the video How to Machine Knit a Quick and Easy Gift Bag. It provides all the details to make three different sized bags.

While a cast-on-comb and garter bar are not necessary to make the gift bag, they sure accellerate the process! Practice on this practical project to develop and enhance your knitting machine tool techniques and skills. You will find that these are essential for shortening the time it takes to complete a project.

The medium-size gift bag was designed to holds a set of indoor snowballs. By opening up the cord, the rolled edge helps to form a basket and hoop! It then becomes part of the game.  For more details, watch the How to Machine Knit Indoor Snowballs video.

If toys are not your thing, the medium gift bag can also fit an assortment of gifts. The small size is perfect for odds and ends while the tall gift bag is sized to fit a wine bottle and is big enough for a chubby champagne bottle too!

All of the knited gift bags can be scrap-happy yarn eaters too! Just add stripes!
