When I made the duffle-type shoulder bag http://www.wilderness-survival.net/forums/showthread.php?25885-Duffle-type-Shoulder-Bag I cast on meshes onto a metal ring. I had to use a special technique to change this flat netting start to tubular netting.
Step 1. Leaving a tail 3 times the length of the desired bag tie a clove hitch.

Step 2. Bring the tail over to the right and tie or tape it to the ring.

Step 3. Tie an odd number of meshes using your gauge and tie clove hitches around both the ring and the tail.

Step 4. Tie the Working End (needle end) and tail together with drop knot.

Step 5. From left to right tie into the odd number meshes (1,3,5,7), turn netting so needle is on left.

Step 6. Tie into even number meshes (6, 4, 2) and tie WE together with drop knot. You now have a circular/tubular base prepared.
