Photos of the bobble stitch bag

This is the whole bag knitted in one piece before stitching up, I leave a long piece of yarn for stitching up to save attaching another piece of yarn later on.

I turned the bag around so the bobbles were facing each other and then stitched up the bag.  Then I turned it inside out so the bobbles were facing and your side seam from stitching up is not as visible.

I made the Icord to thread through the eyelets at the top to keep the bag shut but also to make a pretty bow.
