Noro knitted bag

This is my NORO bag. I bought 4 skeins of Noro wool. On 3 skeins, I cast on 20 stitches and just knitted until I ran out of yarn. I sewed them together length wise. Folded it in half and sewed up the sides. For the strap, I used the 4th skein and cast on 10 and knitted until I was happy with the length. I put the strap in the middle of the bag and then sewed a wooden ring to the other side. To close it, just slip the strap through the ring. Of course, this was felted before the wooden ring was attached.

The wooden rings were a bit costly for what you get. About $1 each. But if you do not want to use wood, Walmart has some plastic rings in multi colors for 3 time as many rings for the same price as the wooden rings. They can go through the wash with no problems.
