This little bag was designed when I wanted to wrap a cystal suncatcher. Since then, it also has become a pouch to hold a variety of tiny treasures for friends and family, both young and old.

It is knit seamlessly in the round and can be finished with a ribbon tie or a crocheted chain. Designed for fingering weight yarns, charms and beads can be added to personalize the piece.

The bag measures 2.5” (6.5 cm) high and 5” (12.5 cm) around and knits up quickly. I like to have a few extras on hand for last-minute gifts. I also keep a favorite in my tote bag because you never know what treasures a new day will bring.
