Pattern description from One Skein: “If you’re like me, you can never have too many little bags to organize accessories, makeup, and small treasures. I used a variety of crochet stitches and geometric shapes for the three shown here. Each bag takes far less than a skein of yarn, so there’s no reason you can’t make all three. But be forewarned, the more you make, the more you’ll want!”

Finished Size: About 7” (18 cm) square.

Yarn:

  • Worsted-weight (CYCA Medium #4) yarn.
  • Louet MerLin Avalon (70% worsted-spun merino wool, 30% wet-spun linen; 156 yd 143 m/100 g): #55 willow.

Hook:

  • Sizes F/5 (3.75 mm).
  • Change hook size if necessary to obtain the correct gauge.

Notions: Tapestry needle; 7” (18 cm) zipper for rectangle and circle bag; sewing needle and matching thread.

Additional Gauge: 15.5 sts and rows = 4” (10 cm) in pattern stitch.
