RSSQuinn: Cabled Bag Knitting Pattern
Quinn is a small-to-medium-sized cabled purse with a long braided strap so it can be worn over the shoulder or messenger-style across the body.
This bag is knit in two pieces. First, the top horizontal band is knit flat, and then the ends are grafted together to form a loop. Then the stitches for the main body of the bag are picked up and knit in the round. At the end, the stitches for the front and back of the bag are divided and grafted together.
The strap is knit separately and sewn to the inside.
