using size 3 DPN's cast on 3 stitches.

K2, K3tog (one stitch from the DPN, one stitch from the first panel,
and one stitch from the second panel
WITHOUT TURNING, knit the first stitch on the DPN, K1, K3tog
(again one stitch from DPN and one from each panel)
Continue down one side.
When you reach the corner, work 3 rounds of I cord
without picking up any stitches from the panels,
Then continue attatched I cord on bottom of bag,
repeating the 3 unattatched I cord at the corner,
