This small baguette is constructed by using a double strand of yarn to work a flat rectangular piece in stockinette, the ends of which are worked in the round (only 4 rows) while the center of the rectangle is worked back and forth so that there is a bag opening the length of the tube. Once the rectangular tube is complete, pick up stitches on the wrong side of the tube "ends" and work in the round, decreasing into the center.
