The pattern in this issue is from Laurie Chochinov, a Master Knitter since 2012. Her English Diamond Cowl uses a gradient yarn from Apple Tree Knits.

The Confident Beginner pattern is for a reversible bag, using Berroco Weekend. It is worked from the top down, starting with the strap. Once the strap is complete, stitches for the top of the bag are cast on from one end of the strap. The opposite end of the strap is then attached and the remaining stitches for the top of the bag are cast on. The top edge is then joined to work in the round for the body of the bag. The bottom is seamed with the three-needle bind off.
