The richly textured Chunky Comfort Keeper Bag is the perfect place to hold very special things. It features lush cables, a moss stitch, a delicate zigzag seed stitch edging at the top, and a string closure. Worked from the bottom up, the bag begins flat until a square is formed. Then, stitches are picked up around the edges and the bag is knitted from there in the round. A tubular rib is created at the top for running cord strings through.
