Step 1: Holding two strands of each yarn together and treating them as one strand, e wrap 8 pegs. Knit to make a strip that is 8", or 36 rows, long.

Step 2: Take the knitting off of the loom.

Step 3: To make the handle, use 2 strands of the Wool-Ease yarn. Wrap 4 pegs and knit 16 rows.

Step 4: Decrease one stitch on the next two rows, and switch to the figure-8 design, knitting the bottom stitch over the stitch on the top. You are now making an I-cord. Make the cord 26" long, or longer if you want a longer handle.

Step 5: Go back to wrapping the pegs and add one peg on each side of the cord. Knit 16 rows on these 4 pegs.

Step 6: Take the knitting off of the loom.

Step 7: Fold the main part of the pouch in half. Using the yarn needle and the cranberry Wool-Ease yarn, pin the end of the handle in the fold of the main part, and sew in both sides. Do the same on the other side.
