Made By FAZ: Mitered Square Bag

Hi.. I am in the mood on writing the pattern today. So today I will be posting the pattern for Mitered Square Bag. This bag still in progress because I still cannot decided what type of strap that I will used. Either the knitted seed stitch strap or bag handle. :D

There were a lot of ways to do this bag. You can knit 22 pieces of Mitered Square and seam it according to this picture or follow this pattern which is less seam. I will try to figure out the seamless pattern and will post it into my blog. :)

Mitered Square Pattern

Cast on an odd number of stitches.
From the picture above, I have cast on 35 stitches using long tail cast on. Make sure the remaining yarn left is long enough to do another long tail cast on.

Row 1 : S1 (Purlwise), Knit until 3 stitches at the centre, S1, K2tog, PSSO, Knit towards end
Row 2 : S1 (Purlwise), Purl
Row 3 : S1 (Knitwise), Knit until 3 stitches at the centre, S1, K2tog, PSSO, Knit towards end
Row 4 : S1 (Purlwise), Knit

Repeat Row 1 to Row 4 until 3 stitches left on the needle, S1, K2tog, PSSO. Do not break yarn

The next step is pickup 17 stitches and using the remaining yarn and the running yarn, cast on another 18 stitches using long tail cast on. (The picture above: I am using cable cast on due to not enough remaining yarn.. lol). Repeat the Mitered Square Pattern for one more square as shown the picture below.

Make another single Mitered Square then arrange it like the picture below.. * I do not have the picture.. T.T*. Do not break the yarn and pick up 35 stitches from the single square and the double mitered square and continue knit the Mitered Square Pattern.

Continue pickup stitches and knit the pattern according to the arrangement from picture below. Sorry I do not have the picture to illustrate more.. :(

Note that at the No 7, 12, 17 and 21, you need to cast on 17 stitches first and pick up another 18 stitches from the square.. Something like in the picture below.
