As I’m waiting for my KP’s yarn to arrive so I can begin my first ever booga bag ( :happydance: ) I’ve been looking around on here, and other sites for a pattern for a bigger booga bag than the original pattern.
I don’t want it TOO big, but definately bigger than the 4 1/2 X 7 1/2 X 8 1/2 which the original pattern shows the bag to be when finnished.
I did find a blog in which instead of 34 casted stitches, and 34 rows, there were 60 casted, and 40 knit.
(Pattern: I cast on 60 stitches and did 40 rows. I picked up 19 stitches on each of the short sides, and 60 stitches on the cast on side, for a total of 158 stitches around. I knitted 70 rounds on the body of the bag – made it just a bit taller than the “normal” bag. )
The final pattern is saying it’s 15" wide by 9" tall by 4" deep.
I have not made anything beyond a scarf yet. This pattern seems pretty good, and I did buy yarn, but I’m looking for something “in between” because I probably won’t need to the bag to be 15" wide, and the 4" deep seems a little short.
Has anyone altered the booga bag pattern into a good size, that they can remember their pattern and wouldn’t mind posting?
Thanks! I’m really eager to start on this bag…so KP’s, hurry with my order! :roflhard:
Maybe? :?? I might as well just give it a go if there aren’t any other patterns out there which make it bigger. I’m afraid without a set one, I’d mess it up BIG time :wall:
I am going on vacation in two weeks, it may be my “take along” project, haven’t decided for sure. In another post someone was talking about using I-Cord edging on th ebooga bag, I LOVED the picture but haven’t tried to find out how it’s done yet.
The i-cord bind off is a great detail to the top of the bag and makes it a bit sturdier. It is quite easy to do…here are some i-cord Bind off references:
