Materials:
1 skein cotton yarn, I used red, #5 US Knitting Needles.
Size: 5 ½ X 4 ½
Notes: SSK=Slip 1, Slip 1, K2tog; K2Tog=knit 2 stitches together. The instructions for SL2, K1, P2SSO are just like the S1 1, K1, PSSO you are just doing it with two stitches instead. I past my stitches over one at a time.
Cast on: 45
Row 1: (RS) K1, *K3, SSK, YO, K1, YO, K2Tog; repeat from * to last 4: K4.

Row 12: Purl.
Repeat the above 12 rows for pattern. I repeated the 12 rows 2 more times. For larger bag, repeat the 12 row set 2 more times and you can enlarge by adding more stitches to cast on in increments of 8 stitches.
Finish: I finished off by doing a Picot Bind off after completing the repeat rows 1-12 (make sure to end with a Purl row). Next row: Bind off 2 stitches, * slip that stitch back to left hand needle, cast on 2 stitches using cable cast on method. This cable cast on can be found by googling the term if you are not familiar with it. Now bind off 5 sts; repeat from * to end. Cut yarn and draw yarn through last stitch on needle.
To complete, fold in half (wrong sides together) join sides and bottom. Thread ribbon or yarn through holes in lace, pull and secure after filling the bag. I put Hershey mini bars in my bag.
