This bag should fit a standard size yoga mat. The finished bag should be approx. 24 1/2” high with a 13 1/2” circumference (62.2 x 34.3 cm), but note that the bag will have some stretch. Instructions for adjusting the finished size of the bag are included with the pattern.

This pattern can easily be completed with one skein of yarn, and the mesh sections mean it works up very quickly.

The pattern is written using standard American English terminology and abbreviations and illustrated with several photos.

You’re welcome to sell what you make from this pattern, though I would appreciate credit as the pattern designer. You may NOT sell, copy, or otherwise redistribute the pattern itself, in either electronic or hard-copy form.

NOTE: the previous version of this pattern had a mistake in the measurements. The finished circumference of the bag should be approx. 13 1/2” (34.3 cm). When the bag is laid flat, it measures approx. 4” (10.2 cm) across. The pdf has been updated to reflect this. I’m sorry for any confusion!
