27 Knit Bag Patterns | The knit bag patterns in this collection are fun, sometimes easy, and great for beginner and advanced knitters alike. Since some small bags, purses, and totes don't require a full skein of yarn, knitting these totes and purses is a great way to use up any leftover hanks of yarn that you have lying around from other projects. Knitted tote bags also make great reusable shopping totes for trips to the mall or the supermarket.
