Each bag was knitted in one piece, beginning with a square on the base. Subsequent squares were added in rotation, using "cast-on" or "pick-up" to achieve the correct number of stitches for each square. Once knit, the bags were felted in the washing machine - it's important to use 100% wool yarn which is hand wash only! The bags shrunk by about 30%, making them fairly substantial. I lined them, added handles, fastenings, and the flower decoration on the green one.
