Is there some sort of special knitting sew? If there is I don't know it, I just did standard 'in-and-around' looping.

Oh no I meant like when you have it all knitted out, how did you attach the two sides together?

That's what I meant. I got myself one those cheap plastic yarn needles (so you can sew with yarn rather than thread) and just did a simple looping stitch around the sides.

Insert the needle in one side and through both pieces of knit. Pull until the knot catches. Put it through the side you just did a little further along the edge so that the yarn clings to the side.

It's hard to explain... if anyone can tell what I'm talking about, post a link to something explaining it?

I totally understood, and, actually, the past 2 hours I've been working on a pouch, and I JUST finished! I used beige yarn to crochet, and small blue yarn (i ran out of the little beige I had) to tie it all together and make loops to tighten it up top! It stretches a lot, so it ends up holding 3 original tamas (my genjintch mothra and angel). I actually really like it! Heres a picture with my babies inside, open and closed, and one without! Three total though:

First! Open up the pouch. So fluffy!
Second! Place your babies comfortably inside. Don't smush!
Third! Close it up and keep them warm!

Edit: Priestess I want to really thank you for giving me the idea and motivation to do this! And a ton of helpful tips! Thank you! (Took your idea on the folding. It comes out well!) I had no yarn needle to string it through, so I just used my hands.

Aww, you're welcome. =3 It turned out adorable. I really like what you did with the closing top! Liking the beige & blue, too. Good job!
