This is a pattern from my SCA Kingdom Series, representing the Kingdom of Caid. It features a Crescent Cross in the center, bordered by elements found in medieval knitted pouches found in Switzerland. Size 8 or 10 cotton is suggested, in blue, white, yellow(gold), gray, and black. No more than 100 yards of each will be needed to complete the pouch per instructions found at the bottom of the chart. Alternately, cross stitch or needlepoint techniques may be used to render the chart. DMC numbers are found in the key. The bag can be completed with or without hangars and tassels, but a good drawstring is important. I like to use a lucet to make good, durable drawstrings, and I generally fingerloop braid the hangars.
